Yuxin Cheng

I’m a designer passionate about simplifying complexity, not just in products but also in the way people experience the world. I love exploring messy problems, understanding how systems and people interact, and turning that insight into intuitive, human-centered experiences that feel effortless. Whether it’s software tools, digital products, or interactive systems, I thrive at the crossroads of creativity, problem-solving, and empathy, crafting solutions that make life a little easier and a little more delightful.
