Designing

Hi, I’m Yilin.
I’m a UX designer with a background in landscape architecture and a love for thoughtful, human-centered design. I enjoy turning complex ideas into clear, warm, and intuitive digital experiences.

With care

Outside of design

Outside of design, I’m usually baking, taking photos, or collecting cute cat pictures. These little hobbies shape the way I see and make things. Baking teaches me patience and process. Photography helps me notice light, composition, and emotion. Cats remind me that small moments can bring a lot of joy.

Baking is one of the ways I create for people I care about. I love hosting, making cakes for friends’ birthdays, and turning small celebrations into something warmer and more personal. I like the process of shaping something from scratch and sharing it with others.

Photography has been something I’ve loved since I was little. I enjoy seeing the world through a viewfinder, where ordinary moments can suddenly feel more intentional, quiet, and beautiful. It taught me to frame, observe, and find meaning in the details.

I’ve never had a cat of my own, but many cats have kept me company for a while. They remind me that small moments can feel deeply comforting.
