Hi. My name is Yiran. I am a UX designer based in Bellevue, Washington. 🌧️⛰️
As the lead UX designer for Amazon's Sort Tech team, I architect complex solutions that drive operational efficiency across Amazon's global logistics network, impacting millions of warehouse associates and managers daily.
One of my earliest dream jobs was to be a comic book artist and tell stories to people. This changed when I found the love and joy of UX design in college, but I haven't lost my passion for storytelling. I use my character development and storyboarding skills to empathize and ideate so that I can create a compelling experience for users.
Besides designing things, I roast my own coffee beans and make things like zines, webcomics, enamel pins, buttons for fun. You can find me tabling at some of the art fests here on the West Coast and selling those knickknacks!
Last but not least - I love soft pretzels. 🥨 But only the greasy ones you can get from the shopping malls.
Feel free to shoot me a message on LinkedIn if you want a chat anytime.
