Hi, I'm Yode

I'm a UI/UX designer always thinking about how to make things more intuitive, and actually get them built.

It usually starts as a mess and slowly comes into focus. I genuinely love burning my brain through that process! 🫠

How I Think & Work

Flip Perspective

I naturally switch between user, engineering, and product lenses to find balance between needs and constraints.

Subtract

When things get too complex, I ask: can this be simpler? More intuitive? Stripping away often reveals the clearest path.

Just Build It

I love making quick prototypes to turn fuzzy ideas into something concrete and validate them early.

My Background

My background is in civil engineering. I worked on structural design and project management for large-scale public infrastructure, then transitioned to UI/UX to get closer to users and iterate at a faster pace.

That engineering foundation means I naturally factor in technical feasibility when designing. I solve problems with engineering thinking, and craft experiences with design thinking.
