Shiyu Chen

Hi! I'm Shiyu, a product designer and builder who ships with AI. I'm strong in product thinking, turning ambiguity into clear, intentional design decisions.

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 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!
