My design philosophy:
Take care of the users, and the rest will follow.
Hi, I'm Ruonan Yan, a product designer based in NYC. 🗽 I've been designing for 10 years, with the last 5 focused on e-commerce marketplace.
Most recently, I worked at LiveAuctioneers, a marketplace for art and antique collectors. I led the design of the end-to-end shipping experience through countless tests and research. Before that, I helped millions of tourists discover sightseeing tours at TopView, where I found my passion for designing through deep empathy with users.
I was an award-winning visual designer before jumping into the tech world. I created dozens of campaigns for clients like Tiffany & Co., Hennessy, Nobu, Origins, and Bergdorf Goodman. Go to my visual design portfolio >.




What I believe in:
• Everyone in the company should talk to users regularly
• Learning is the core of product development
• Research is a mix of data, interviews, experience, and taste
• Work-life balance
Fun facts about me:
• I was born and raised in China 🇨🇳
• I do street photography.
• I love baking. 🥖
• I have a pit bull named Lola. She says hi.
We'll get along if you like:
