Hi! I’m Xiaowei.

/ˈʃi-aʊ-wei/

I create seamless journeys that spark joy and resonate with users.

I am a seasoned UX designer with 5 years of experience in the cloud infrastructure industry. With roots in industrial design and digital design, I have a passion for creating intuitive and efficient user experiences that empower users to seamlessly navigate complex systems and achieve their goals.

 

I believe that good design is not just about aesthetics, but also about function and purpose. Every design decision should be based on a deep understanding of the user’s needs and behaviors, as well as the business objectives and constraints.

 

I believe that people should always be at the center of the design process. I am committed to understanding the needs and behaviors of my users and leveraging that insight to create meaningful and impactful experiences. I strive to create designs that are not just easy to use, but also enjoyable and memorable.

 

I am a strong believer in the power of simplicity and clarity in design. I aim to create designs that are intuitive and easy to understand, while still providing the necessary functionality and features. I believe that design should enhance and simplify the user’s experience, not complicate it.

I embrace the endless possibilities within uncertainty.

I keep continuously learning and growing, exploring new emergences in design and technology. During the 1.5-year period when I wasn’t working, I ventured into entrepreneurship using generative AI tools, expanding my expertise beyond design into technology and business.
