Hi hi!

This is Yulin. Welcome to my site! Here, I share my work samples on UX research and instructional design as well as blogs about interesting adventures or everyday reflections.

I'm a UX researcher and instructional designer who’s currently looking for new opportunities in a team that focuses on learning and community building. Most recently, I worked at Squarespace, where I led end-to-end research to help people start building a website with ease. Before Squarespace, I worked at a non-profit educational team that designed mobile exercises for English language learners abroad.

One of my key strengths is my ability to actively listen to (and jam with) my product partners so that their questions and goals can be built into my research and instruction-design process. I find it especially exciting to engage them during planning, data collection (note-taking is so important), and debrief conversations. I believe that only by doing so will the insights I share (synthesized from complex research data) be well-disgested and meaningful to the whole team.

My research philosophy is centered around curiosity and an openness to working outside of my assumptions, and I help my teammates to stay curious too.

Outside of work, I cook, watch drama, learn new languages, and play tennis.
