> Product Designer | 0-to-1 UX, Interaction Design, and Cross-Functional Collaboration

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/kejiazhu

I’m a 0-to-1 Product Designer focused on building intuitive digital experiences at the intersection of user needs, business goals, and execution. With a background in UI/UX, interaction design, and visual communication, I enjoy turning early-stage ideas into clear product flows, thoughtful interfaces, and cohesive brand experiences.

My experience includes startup product design, AI-driven experiences, web interfaces, branding, and cross-functional collaboration with engineers, founders, and business teams. I’m particularly interested in shaping products from an early stage, translating ambiguity into structure through research, systems thinking, and user-centered design.

I care about creating products that are not only functional and scalable, but also emotionally clear and meaningful for users. Currently seeking opportunities in Product Design / UIUX Design, especially in AI, consumer, and emerging digital products.
