“The Evolution of Designers in the AI Era”
A little about me.
I’m Yating, a product designer and hands-on builder. My background spans industrial design and human-computer interaction, with experiences studying and working across China and Europe.
My work has taken me from healthcare and automotive technology to AI experiences at Microsoft. Along the way, I’ve also created independent apps, including Foca and Core.
Today, I design and build AI products that help people turn ideas into action.

AWAY FROM THE SCREEN
You’ll often find me hanging out with Mantou or making myself a cup of coffee. I’m also a beginner tennis player who enjoys trying new things—from drumming to aerial yoga.
Meet Mantou.
My golden British Shorthair boy, keeping me company—one yawn at a time.
On both sides of the counter.
I once worked part-time at a café. These days, I mostly make coffee for myself.
Through my lens.
I also spent some time exploring photography. A little glimpse of what caught my eye.
