Shiyu Chen

Hi, I'm Shiyu, a product designer and builder who ships with AI. I turn complex, data-heavy workflows into clean, intuitive experiences.

When I'm not designing, I'm telling stories about food and history on my YouTube channel. I believe the best AI tools are built by those who understand human stories. Currently automating the creator workflow from script to thumbnail.

About me

I'm a product designer and builder based in New York, with my strongest roots in B2B. I love solving complex problems and handling ambiguity. Transforming complex, undefined problems into intentional design decisions is always my favorite part of the process.

My background outside of design is a mix: journalism, business, and art. That combination means I think in systems, design and build with intention and taste, communicate in stories, and lead with empathy.

Outside of work I run a YouTube channel about food history — how cuisine carries the story of migration, colonialism, and culture. Right now I'm building VidPilot AI with Claude Code, a tool that helps content creators grow smarter.

I'm looking to join an AI-native startup because it fits me best: product-minded, with intentional interaction and visual design. If you're interested, let's chat!
