Zhiyuan Chen

About

Hey there, I'm Zhiyuan. My biggest expertise is my ability to switch gears effortlessly between big-picture problem-solving and pixel-perfect visual design! This allows me to create great designs and seamless user experiences from concept to execution. With a Master of Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University, I am a dedicated product designer with a strong foundation in both theory and practice. During my previous role at PLUS, I led the design of an LLM-powered AI tool for tutors to improve online tutoring efficiency and student engagement. I've also worked across different industries, too. If you're looking for a designer who can deliver innovative, user-centered solutions, I'd love to collaborate!
