Hi, I am Mengyuan

I’ve worked at Microsoft, Udacity, Google, IDEO, and several fast-moving startups—including an a16z-backed team and a web3 blockchain network.

My foundation is in design—not just how things look, but how they work, feel, and create business value. I've redesigned education platforms for course creators, made virtual events more engaging, helped people improve sleep (not just track it), launched an F&B product line, reintroduced a legacy drink to Gen Z with playful AR/AI, and built an asset management tool from ground up that once became a top BTC holder on BNB chain.

The thread through it all? Design as a way of thinking—enabling me to learn new industries, tackle complex problems, and build things that matter.

01. Google Sleep Sensing

Google Nest Hub 2 monitor your sleep near your bedside. It tracks when you go to bed/wake up, how long and how restful you’ve slept. It also provides personalized suggetions to help you sleep better.

I led design of sleep tracking and sleep coaching on this world's first ever smart display with sensing abilities and collaborated with 4 teams from Google Assistant, Google Fit, Google Home and Google Health.

02.Shape Scroll's Ecosystem

As the sole product designer at Scroll, I lead product and user research for this Ethereum layer 2 network. I launched Canvas, the ecosystem’s top app by transaction volume and user growth, enabling on-chain identity through attestations.

I also ran a community sticker contest that helped shape Scroll’s visual identity—one of our most engaging community events to date.

03. IDEO projects

Consulting at IDEO was a rewarding experience, allowing me to work beyond the screen on diverse projects—from envisioning an AR/AI experience for a beverage brand to launching a new tea product, designing a blood testing device for ERs, and reimagining the dining experience in Thailand. Details available upon request due to confidentiality.
