Designing thoughtful AI and enterprise experiences.
Who Am I
Hi, I'm Ruiying Xu, a product designer based in New York City. I'm currently pursuing a BFA in Design at the School of Visual Arts, where I focus on building thoughtful digital experiences that balance visual clarity, systems thinking, and usability.
Through product design internships in both the U.S. and China, I've worked across enterprise AI, design systems, brand identity, and responsive web experiences. I enjoy translating complex workflows into interfaces that feel simpler, more useful, and more human.
