About Me

Hi, I’m Yinyin Zhou, a former finance professional who found a new passion in design and technology. After spending over 15 years in accounting and finance, I realized that my real joy came from solving problems creatively, not just crunching numbers. That’s what led me to the world of interaction design, where I now focus on creating user-friendly, meaningful experiences.

Right now, I’m studying at the School of Visual Arts, learning how to blend structure with creativity to design products that make life easier and more enjoyable. My background in finance helps me think strategically, while my love for design pushes me to craft intuitive and engaging digital experiences.

I bring a unique perspective—my analytical skills from accounting help me approach design with a structured, problem-solving mindset. I’m excited to apply my skills in a real-world setting, collaborate with a design team, and learn from industry professionals.

Let’s chat! – I’d love to hear from you.
