A photo of me, I sits on the top floor of The Vessel with a big smile.

Hey there, I'm Yiqi!

Born and raised in Sichuan, China. Ardent, value-driven UX Designer with 6+ years of combined workforce experience in design roles.

I am always looking for new challenges that can help me continue developing and growing as a designer.
‍
When I am not designing, I am obsessed with doing quick sketches and drawing portraits with my iPad + Apple pencil. I also love playing video games. Uncharted and Tomb Raider series are my favorite!
‍
I am a cat lover too. My cats June and July are super cute!
