(Me and Darth Vadar in a staring contest)
Hi, I'm Yunyi, currently a user experience designer living in the wind city.
My name Yunyi [yn i:], which pronounces as "you-n" "yee", written with the Chinese characters "云逸" painting a poetic picture in which a piece of cloud roams at ease.
I'm obsessed with the connections among us human beings, which eventually led me to user experience design, a field that maps technology to psychology.
I currently work with a group of awesome folks at Expedia Group. Together we help improve travelers' experience with our super strength of design thinking and empathy.
In my spare time I binge watch Netflix if I'm not spending time with my family. I am also an active member of several cultural groups and communities, including but not limited to the design community, the Chinese UX designers in Chicago (a group of about 100 I run online), and the Asian American community.
