Jiayi

User Experience Designer (Government Digital Products), GovTech

About me

"I'm Jiayi, a UX designer with close to 5 years of experience building digital products for the Singapore government. I studied in China, did my master's in the US, and eventually found my footing here in Singapore. That cross-cultural path has shaped how I approach design and products. Most recently, I've been creating Gen AI tools that help public officers draft content faster and more effectively. My work sits at the intersection of UX and product thinking, where understanding user needs and making the right product decisions go hand in hand. If you're figuring out how to break into UX or product management, grow in your craft, or understand how this work plays out in a government context, I'd love to chat. I'll be practical, honest, and encouraging, and I promise no boring mentor-speak."

I'm interested in Digital and Technology, Education and Career, Family and Relationships, Mental Well-being and Sports and Physical Well-being.

I've worked in Design, Infocomm Technology and Public Service.
