Designing the moment before decision.
I'm Christy Yao.
I bring engineering judgment and design craft to AI-native and enterprise products. The ones people open when the data is in but the call hasn't been made, and they need to know what matters and what to do next.

About
Hi, I'm Christy.Product designer in New York.
I started in electrical engineering, where I learned that every system is a set of decisions someone else has to live with. I found I cared more about the someone else than the system, which pulled me toward design and through a master's in Human-AI Interaction at Carnegie Mellon.
Today I design AI-native and enterprise products, and I build in code, including this site, so ideas are tested where they will actually live.
Outside of design I like taking things apart to see how they work: art exhibits, new tools.

How I Work
I design like an engineer.
