Profile: https://flows.cv/zihanyang

I have a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the Academy of Art University and a Bachelor of Arts in 2D Animation from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. I am currently a Product Designer at Sprinter Health, a digital health startup that provides personalized wellness solutions. My core competencies include UI/UX design, graphic design, illustration, and prototyping.

At Sprinter Health, I have designed multiple task flows across mobile and desktop platforms, created prototypes to test designs and validate hypotheses, and participated in dogfooding with engineers and product managers to capture bugs before launch. I have also designed the website, brand presentation template, and illustrations for the company. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify constraints and ensure the design achieves user and business goals. I am passionate about creating engaging and accessible digital products that improve people's health and well-being. I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, as I have also worked as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer for various clients, and as a senior designer for a production company that created online courses for Facebook.
