Hi! I'm Shiyu, a product designer and builder who ships with AI. I'm strong in product thinking, turning complex chaos into clear, shippable solutions. I move fast and get things done.
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. My background is a weird mix: journalism, marketing, business development, and a Master's in art and design. That combination means I think in systems, build with intention and taste, communicate in stories, and lead with empathy.
In the corporate world, my core strength is handling ambiguity. Taking a messy, undefined problem and finding the thread that makes it simple. In the startup world, I'm a product-minded builder who designs, validates ideas fast, and drives early user growth.
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 early-stage AI-native startup because it fits me best: multiple hats, product and growth focus, fast-moving. For me, these aren't buzzwords. This is who I am. If you're interested, let's chat!
