# Karen Y. > Sr. Product Designer | FinTech | AI Agentic Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kareny1 I design AI-assisted financial and operational decision systems, combining product thinking, trust interfaces, and rapid prototyping. Privileged to have journeyed extensively across Australia, New Zealand, MENA, India, Taiwan, and Singapore since 2013, driven by my career pursuits while living my dream as a digital nomad. In my interactions, I embody attentive listening, humility, sincerity, and respectful communication. Beyond my professional sphere, I channel my deep passions for photography, philosophy, psychology, and travel filmmaking using drones. These pursuits reflect my introverted nature, allowing me to tell stories through visuals instead of words. My life's ultimate purpose transcends material and spiritual pursuits; it revolves around cultivating mental strength to alleviate the suffering of others. ## Work Experience ### Founding Product Design Engineer @ Stealth AI Startup Jan 2026 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area NDA-protected - Goal-driven autonomous trading agents with real-time control and transparency ### Universal Bank Representative @ Bank of the Orient Jan 2025 – Present ### Product Designer @ Sy2design Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco, CA Selected Local Client Projects: BitNets (iOS – Xcode): AI-powered LLM crypto futures simulation app. Led end-to-end design of the Monitors Strategy Module, enabling beginner traders to learn core trading strategies through simulated trades with AI-predicted entry and exit points. ### Founding Product Designer @ Eve World Platform Pte Ltd Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 | Singapore, Singapore In August 2023, the Web3 coto App attracted an estimated 200k+ users from the ground up since 2021.
