My name is Ashley Miao, and I'm a product designer from San Francisco currently studying at UCLA.

Hi! I'm Ashley, a product designer from San Francisco.

Going into college, I actually wanted to be a software engineer. The thought of building products from 1’s and 0’s was fascinating to me. But after taking classes and working on projects, I found myself gravitating towards design, with a deep curiosity for how each pixel affected one's experience. Now in my fourth year at UCLA majoring in linguistics and computer science, I've enjoyed learning the technical side of things, but I've learned that what motivates me the most is understanding people and designing delightful and impactful interactions for them.

I aspire to design solutions to challenges that underrepresented communities face today. Have a project that needs some hands? Get in touch 😸!
