Nice to meet you! 👋🏻

I’m Beijia, a product designer with 6+ years of creative experience across architecture, graphic design, and digital products. I love tackling complex problems with a mix of thoughtful research, clever technology, and elegant design - I thrive on working with teams that see design as a real driver of change.

I grew up in cities across China and later moved to New York City, where I discovered my passion for design. Since then, my career has taken me to Boston, Los Angeles, Shanghai, and now London. I believe that my journey has added invaluable perspectives to my work and deepened my commitment to crafting meaningful experiences for people.

If you believe design can make a difference, I’d love to connect and see what we can create together!
