Profile: https://flows.cv/oliviaxu

6+ years dedicated to building AI-driven, data-heavy SaaS platforms from zero to one for crypto risk and compliance, adopted by global accounting firms, government agencies, and law enforcement. My work centers on transforming complex workflows into intuitive, scalable products that make crypto investigation more efficient. Designed a patented AI fund tracing feature that reduced investigation time by 85% and drove 30% customer growth.

My design process is grounded in user-centered design and systems thinking. I collaborate with stakeholders to observe real cases and uncover workflow friction, then rapidly prototype solutions and refine them through iteration. I partnered with engineers to align designs with data queries and backend constraints, bridging the gap between user insights and technical execution. I’ve also contributed to design systems that keep data-heavy workflows consistent and scalable across products.
