# Xueqi Ren > Senior Product Designer | Enterprise UX & AI Integrations | Transforming Complex Systems into Intuitive Experiences Location: San Jose, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/xueqiren I’m a Senior UX / Product Designer with 8+ years of experience designing and scaling enterprise-level systems in highly complex, compliance-driven environments. My work sits at the intersection of user experience, product strategy, system automation, and operational efficiency. I’ve led end-to-end design and product strategy for campus-wide platforms that function like enterprise B2B SaaS systems—supporting students, faculty, staff, administrators, international users, and external partners. Over the years, my role has evolved from hands-on UX and visual design into owning system strategy, workflow automation, and cross-functional decision-making, with measurable outcomes including increased adoption, reduced errors, and significant operational cost savings. What sets me apart is my ability to solve hard problems at scale. I specialize in turning fragmented, manual, or high-risk processes into streamlined, resilient systems—balancing user needs, business goals, technical constraints, and regulatory requirements. My experience includes designing for edge cases such as international access limitations, accessibility compliance, payment failures, data inconsistencies, and unstable connectivity, while collaborating closely with engineering, AI/ML teams, and executive stakeholders. In addition to product and UX leadership, I’ve served as a Senior School Official, supporting accreditation, regulatory compliance, and high-stakes onsite reviews. This experience has strengthened my approach to design: I don’t just create intuitive systems—I design solutions that can stand up to audits, scale responsibly, and earn organizational trust. I’m particularly interested in roles where design is treated as a strategic function, not just execution—such as Staff or Principal Product Designer, Design Lead, or Head of UX roles in enterprise, SaaS, or complex platform environments. Core strengths: • Enterprise & platform UX • End-to-end product design & strategy • System automation & operational efficiency • Cross-functional leadership & stakeholder alignment • Accessibility & compliance-aware design • Branding, digital experience, and storytelling If you’re building systems that need to scale, comply, and actually work for real users—I’d love to connect. ## Work Experience ### Head of UX Designer & Product Strategist - Enterprise System @ California Science and Technology University Jan 2022 – Present | Milpitas, CA, US Lead UX and product strategy for a campus-wide, enterprise-level digital ecosystem supporting students, faculty, staff, administrators, international agents, and partner organizations.
