HELLO! MY NAME IS ZIWU ZHOU
你好。
pronounced ‘zee-woo joe’
I’m a product designer passionate about crafting intuitive and beautiful digital experiences. With a knack for turning complex problems into seamless solutions, I thrive on creating designs that balance functionality and elegance.
I specialize in leading cross-functional teams to deliver top-notch user experiences, whether it’s for enterprise applications or consumer products. From visual design to user research and usability testing, I bring a data-driven approach that ensures every design decision is intentional. My experience spans the full design spectrum, having worked with global teams and mentored designers along the way.
Outside of work, I love exploring new ideas and pushing creative boundaries. Whether it’s AI innovation or simplifying complex systems, I’m always up for the challenge to design the future, one pixel at a time.
Design is thinking made visual—with a lot of caffeine, but in my case, it’s powered by green tea. 🍵
