About Ruofan (Fanee) Gu

Senior Product Designer at Microsoft

Hello I'm Fanee. 👋 I’m a UX designer with 8+ years of experience in UX design for small/medium-sized companies and large tech companies. I’m currently designing AI experiences for developer tools at Microsoft. I specialize in solving complex problems for enterprise-facing products through cross-functional collaborations.

I came from a background in digital media and visual communications. I’d love to talk about anything design related, share my experience, and help you out from things you're struggling with.

I can help you with: • UX in enterprise products
 • Portfolio reviews • Job interviews • Transitioning into UX design
 • Remote work
 • UX design for AI products

Feel free to share your porfolio/case study link when booking a session so I can take a look ahead of time.
