About Xiaofang
I’m Xiaofang (She/her), a lead product designer with 10 years of experience launching consumer-centered and business products across mobile and web platforms.
Design isn't just a career for me—it's a passion that ignites my curiosity and drives me into a state of flow as I delve into the "whys" and seek innovative solutions.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I firmly believe in the power of giving back to make the world a better place. That's why I dedicate my spare time to mentor other designers or who is interested in stepping into tech world.
When it comes to influencing others, I rely on a blend of rationality and inspiration. Armed with data and user experience research insights, I articulate ideas with clarity and conviction, aiming to inspire and drive meaningful changes.

Personal life and core values
I spend my weekends on cycling, swimming, and workout. I spend my PTO on taking pictures with my Canon M6 mark 2 and film cameras. Currently living with my husband and my 7-year old bunny in Seattle, WA.
I firmly believe in the importance of longevity, which has led me to dedicate time and effort to optimizing various aspects of my life, including my exercise routine, daily nutrition, sleep quality, and mental well-being. For me, cultivating self-compassion is paramount not only for achieving longevity but also for fostering career success. By prioritizing self-care and nurturing a compassionate mindset, I aim to sustain both my personal well-being and professional growth in the long run.
