PRODUCT RESEARCH   & STRATEGY

Having worn many hats at early-stage startups and large companies, I partner with interdisciplinary teams, use design thinking to develop strategy and identify milestones. Through increasing fidelities of iterative validations we balance execution towards the north star.

As a multidisciplinary thinker, I prioritize building relationships with teams. Previously, I led design at Lumity as the first designer and consulted at Coinbase, Google, Nuna, Shyp, and more. I hold a Masters and Bachelors in Human-Computer Interaction and Industrial Design from Carnegie Mellon. A couple sponsored projects I worked on were for the Nissan Leaf and GE Healthcare during my time there.

At the core, I understand people, their stories, and challenges. These insights drive me to blend business needs, research, and analysis to create new opportunities using technology. Reach out at ayounayang@gmail.com about work inquires.

On the weekends you'll find me working with various mediums, technologies, and practicing martial arts.

Sketches, typographic studies, industrial design, foundational design work, and fine art are past experimental learnings from my journey.
