About Yuanqing Yao
Senior Strategy & Analytics Associate at TikTok Inc.
I’m Echo—a designer-turned-strategist bridging human-centered thinking and rigorous analytics. Currently, I work as a Senior Strategy Analyst at TikTok. Previously, I was a Strategic Designer at Bain & Company, where I partnered with global brands to turn ambiguous problems into clear strategies and shippable solutions. I mentor people with career development (in design, strategy, product), structured problem solving, and storytelling that lands—bridging human-centered thinking with rigorous analytics. As a mentor, I’m practical, structured, and candid—focused on clarity, confidence, and next steps you can actually execute. Let's work together to achieve your next goal :)
