My Experience

Hi, I’m Ming Ye, a senior UX/UI/Product Designer with a strong background in complex workflow and front-end development. I believe designers are the dot-connectors of the world. We unify not just digital experiences, but also the people behind them to focus on the most impactful outcomes. Currently, I build digital solutions @ Yext to help buisnesses manage their digital presence.
