hi, i’m yaying yu!
product designer, tinkerer, thinker, human (hopefully)
i’m a systems thinking-driven designer shaping early research and exploration into focused experiences worth building.
I’ve recently been stuck on this delicious coconut latte recipe
I cooked up — inspired by one i tried in this coffee shop
in Guangxi, China. Message me for the recipe! :D
There are also a bunch of other coffees I experiment with, featuring my college apartment’s laminate counter top.

I am also a complete newbie in photography,
but I enjoy what I shoot.
And if it weren’t obvious enough, I love looking up at the sky.
Born in Zhongshan, Pearl River Delta, which objectively, is the Bay Area of China. Then immigrated to the actual Bay Area at 2.
Now at Dartmouth, which sits on the Connecticut River and is objectively very cold. Heading back to the Bay after.
Maybe I just love the water.
For the record, I do not know how to swim.
come say hello!
I'm always happy to talk about design, systems thinking, cognitive science, philosophy of life, or whatever drink recipe I'm currently on.
