Product designer with 5 years of experience, 4 of them taking AI products from 0 to 1. I like shaping workflows and product direction rather than only refining interfaces, and I use code and interactive prototypes to settle questions early—so teams can make better decisions before engineering starts. 产品设计师,5 年产品设计经验,其中 4 年专注 AI 产品从 0 到 1。比起只打磨界面,我更愿意去梳理工作流、定义产品方向;擅长在需求模糊的阶段用可交互原型快速收敛,让团队在开发之前就把问题想清楚。
