Senior🎓
Top SchoolAsh Yao is a user-centered UX designer with a decade of experience bridging design, research, and engineering to build accessible, cross-platform products. With a Computer Science degree from CSU Sacramento and hands-on history as both a full-stack engineer and QA tester, Ash reliably translates technical constraints into polished Figma prototypes and production-ready Flutter implementations. They’ve co-founded an AI-focused startup and led end-to-end design for consumer apps and enterprise portals—often serving as the sole UX practitioner on projects at IBM and early-stage companies. Known for rigorous research methods (card sorting, affinity mapping, usability testing) and a knack for producing reusable design systems and custom icons, Ash excels at aligning stakeholder goals with measurable user outcomes. An understated strength is their ability to move between roles—coding in Dart/Flutter, documenting in GitBook, and facilitating cross-functional workshops—so teams ship thoughtful, usable products faster.
