Profile: https://flows.cv/yanhong

UX designer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, currently designing internal platforms at Amazon Web Services (AWS). With 8+ years of experience, I’ve built products across consumer marketplaces, fintech platforms, and enterprise systems at AWS, Prosper Marketplace, AEDIT, and L’Oréal USA, partnering with cross-functional teams to turn complex problems into intuitive and scalable user experiences. I’m particularly interested in products at the intersection of technology, decision-making, and human behavior. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, gaming, drawing, and exploring new creative ideas.
