What others say about me

Yu Zhou

Founder & CEO

Yidan stepped into the lead role with a strong capacity to align engineers and specialists around what drives product value. She set a clear pace, communicated decisively, and made design choices that strengthened both usability and long-term potential. The materials she created became central to my pitch and helped secure support from our partners.

Sarah Posner

Product Designer

Yidan is an ideal teammate. She is incredibly hardworking, dedicated, and can be relied on for both creative ideas and technical expertise. I feel very lucky to have been able to collaborate with her on multiple projects, including our masters capstone project at the University of Washington. If you have the opportunity to work with Yidan, take it!

Julia Evans

Product Manager

I had the opportunity to work closely with Yidan on several design projects, most notably a 6-month project. I found her to be a quick learner with exceptionally high standards for quality and attention to detail, consistently elevating the team’s work and delivering value. Her thoughtful approach and reliability make her a strong contributor to any design effort.

Derrick Bast

Senior Manager

I’ve been deeply impressed by Yidan’s ability to take ownership, cut through complexity, and deliver solutions that meaningfully improve the work. She collaborates with intention, communicates with clarity, and consistently brings a level of rigor that strengthens every project she touches.

Howard Williams

Education Professor

I still remember the demo class Yidan led. The way she structured the lesson drew her peers in immediately, and the room stayed attentive and involved throughout the session. It was clear she understood how to design a learning experience that invites participation and makes students want to contribute.

James Xian

Software Engineer

I worked closely with her, and I was continually inspired by the strength of her creative thinking. I watched her turn bold ideas into clear, feasible design solutions that moved the work forward.
