About
Hi, I’m Shinyoung You, a product designer based in Seattle. My engineering background helps me connect research and behavioral data with the realities of complex product systems. I enjoy working where usability and platform constraints have to work together.

Strengths
I work across research, prototyping, data, and platform constraints to make complex product decisions tangible and buildable.
Prototype to de-risk
I turn research and end-to-end scenarios into testable prototypes using design-system components and AI-assisted workflows, so teams can review interactions and feasibility before engineering begins.

Structure for discovery
I use card sorting, information architecture, and experimentation to clarify hierarchy and improve how people navigate and discover content.
