Profile: https://flows.cv/mengying

I design AI systems for inspiration and discovery — using them to surface and empower what's less visible: emerging artists, underrepresented cultures, niche places and more.

Multidisciplinary designer with focus on Gen-AI, product design, creative direction and coding. Spans collaborations with tech startups, advertising agencies and luxury fashion brands.

World traveler exploring what's been 'left behind'.
