Hello, I'm Songyi
Thanks for stopping by. I’m a product designer who thinks in systems, builds from zero, and cares deeply about how things feel — not just how they function.

My work spans product, brand, and visual design. I often find myself in early-stage environments, helping shape tools and services from the ground up. I think the best products aren’t just usable — they carry a clear point of view and a sense of identity that sticks.

I believe in thoughtful details, coherent experiences, and design that’s emotionally resonant without losing clarity.
What I value when designing
1
Approach problems with systems thinking and rapid prototyping
2
Strong collaboration & communication creates strong products
3
Take ownership of the craft
