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 consumer-facing products.
At LiveAuctioneers, an art and antique marketplace, I led the design of the end-to-end shipping experience through countless tests and research, from buyer communication to order management. 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. My clients include Tiffany & Co., Hennessy, Nobu, Origins, and Bergdorf Goodman. Go to my visual design portfolio >.




What I bring to your team:
• End-to-end design leadership
• Outcome-driven, data-informed design decisions
• Build a strong user database and relationship
• Leverage AI tools in the design process
• Cultivate team connection and growth
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.
