Profile: https://flows.cv/minyu

Hi! I'm Minyu, a product designer based in Seattle & SF Bay Area. I love translating complexity into intuitive experiences and consider every facet of the user journey. I've led end-to-end design, streamlining complex workflows, and shaping AI capabilities in regulated, data-intensive environments.

Currently deepening my expertise in AI Systems and strategic design through graduate studies at University of Washington.

When I'm not working, I’m in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, playing with my guinea pigs, and watering my plants to keep them alive!
