Sisi Yu is a product designer based in Brooklyn with 8 years of cross-disciplinary experience blending architecture, product development, and computer science to build thoughtful, craft-focused user experiences. She has shipped design work across startups and large companies—most recently on growth at Stripe after leading integrations design at Frame.io—and brings hands-on coding chops alongside design sensibilities (GitHub bio: Designer and Coder). Her background in material research and HCI (Carnegie Mellon) and a recent technical master’s in computer info/CS gives her a rare fluency in both tangible interfaces and AI-driven product interactions. She’s passionate about designing for AI systems, asking hard questions about interaction, and fostering empathetic, collaborative teams. Notably, she’s been a founding designer for a stealth startup exploring embedded surfaces and led pneumatic morphing-material research, signaling a focus on novel physical–digital experiences. Sisi values ownership and craftsmanship, combining studio rigor with product-minded execution to move ambiguous ideas toward market-ready tools.
