Background

About Kristen Yang

I am a creative project manager with over 7 years of experience in UX design, strategy, and end-to-end project management, specializing in bridging the gap between design and development. With a proven track record of leading multidisciplinary teams, I excel in crafting user-centered designs and directing creative visions that drive innovative and impactful products. My expertise spans UX, product development, visual design (including product, graphic, and surface design), and fashion design, making me a versatile and dynamic professional. Born in China and raised in the U.S, I bring a global perspective shaped by studying and working in China, Canada, and the U.S. over the past two decades. This experience has sharpened my ability to adapt to cultural nuances in both Eastern and Western contexts, enabling me to collaborate effectively with diverse professionals and make informed executive decisions. I thrive on transforming ideas into tangible results, leveraging my deep understanding of global trends to deliver exceptional solutions. As a passion, I am a social media savvy influencer managing three accounts with over 300K followers. I am also a business owner thanks to the success of my dog’s account @winstonwants on TikTok and Instagram.
