Hi, I am Mengyuan

I’m an interaction/experience designer who thrives in fast-paced and collaborative environments where I touch the entire process end to end. As someone who has worked in design consulting firms, startups, and big corporations, I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to any team I join.

Currently I am a senior interaction designer at IDEO, creating positive impact through human-centric design for some world's leading brands. Before IDEO, I have led product management and design for virtual event hosting startup Run The World, launched 0-to-1 product in the wellness space for smart display at Google, designed online learning experience for students at Udacity, and created social gaming experiences across PC, mobile and TV at Microsoft Xbox.
