> Product Designer | Creating Intuitive and Socially Responsible User Experiences

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/yuru

I am a product designer interested in turning wood and stone into chopsticks and forks.

My background spans in HCI, front-end development, and data science, bringing strong problem-solving skills to tackle complex challenges intuitively.

Inspired by Naoto Fukasawa’s ‘Without Thought’ and Victor Papanek’s principles of socially responsible design, I strive to create digital products that seamlessly integrate into daily life. My goal is to empower individuals through intuitive and inclusive design, helping them achieve their goals and pursue their passions.

I am committed to building a more equitable and sustainable world where design serves as a catalyst for positive change, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive. If you share this vision, let’s connect or have a chat!
