About FengYi Yu
Staff UX Researcher at Grab, Google, Acer, Bank
In the year of 2022 I took time talking to people who are interested in topics around Product, Design, Research, Career, Asia, etc. After 50+ conversations, I noted down my learnings here. --> https://bit.ly/3CnF7YG
You can expect topics including // Are you sure UXR is the right thing for you? // Entering or Switching to UXR // Resume, Portfolio, & Interview preparation // Career planning // Work in Asia as an Asian // Better research // Bigger impact in organization
Hope these notes help you too. If you want to chat more about other topics, happy to chat :-)
---------- I'm a product researcher with a background in psychology. In the past few years, I spent time in Taiwan, Singapore, and Shanghai working in hardware, software, and service products across ride-hailing, education, gaming, payment, and various other areas. I believe that the beauty of product design is the ability to deeply understand the problems that humans are facing and to build the best possible solutions with sustainable business models that empower human potential. The deeper I navigates in the product space, the stronger this belief firms.
