About Me

Hi, my name's Angel (Yimin). I'm a New York and Chicago based full-stack UX/UI Product Designer and Educator, currently working at Western Governors University as a UX Design Instructor.

I define myself as a passionate technophile who sees technology as an inspiration for creativity. I am dedicated to crafting the ultimate user experience that not only meets business goals but also delivers flawless design work and pioneering digital strategies. I'm also an award-winning Art Director and 3D designer. 

When I'm not working on my design, I'm probably observing human nature and helping streamline a brand's products for even more successful implementation!
