Jiayuan yan

I’m a passionate interaction design student at University of Washington with a focus on creating intuitive, human-centered digital experiences. My coursework includes advanced prototyping, user research methodologies, and UX/UI design. I’ve developed proficiency in tools like Figma, and HTML/CSS, and I apply principles from psychology and behavioral design to solve real-world problems. I designed a project called Steming, a knowledge-sharing platform to reduce the information gap among college applicants by optimizing the logic and openness of students' communication with experienced people. I thrive in interdisciplinary teams and aim to bridge technology and empathy to design solutions that are both functional and emotionally resonant.

Dynamic and dedicated professional with experience as a TOEFL Teaching Assistant at Li Zhang, excelling in fostering a supportive learning environment. Skilled in effective communication and complex problem-solving, I have successfully collaborated with educators to enhance student engagement and provide tailored support for diverse learners, ensuring academic success and personal growth.
