Profile: https://flows.cv/yanfei

Since June 2022, I have been working as a Product Designer at BD, a global leader in medical technology. I have been involved in designing a unified style guide (design system) for the leading software in the clinical research field, BD FACSuite, which reduced some of the design costs and improved interface consistency. I have also conducted interviews with stakeholders and research scientists and presented the research findings to the R&D software team, gaining more exposure for the project. 

My passion for crafting seamless user experiences led me to pursue a master's degree in Information Science at the University of Michigan, where I graduated in December 2022. There, I honed my skills in design systems, user research, user interviews, and communication, and advised undergraduates in the School of Information on graphic and UX design-related assignments and portfolios.
