Xuejian (Aiden) Yang · 杨雪健 — Sydney-based design engineer

ABOUT ME

Xuejian Yang · 杨雪健 (Aiden) — Sydney, Australia

I'm Xuejian (Aiden) Yang, a design engineer who ships. Since 2025 I've designed, built and deployed four AI products solo — from a language-learning app to an investment dashboard in production.

Before design, I grew a Weibo account to 200K followers and ran overseas content at Camera360 — I know what makes people stop scrolling, and I build that instinct into products.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

01

Practicality

Solving real problems with tools that genuinely improve everyday life.

02

AI-Driven

Intelligence as an extension of design capability, not a gimmick.

03

Boundaryless

Breaking beyond conventional interfaces to explore freely without constraints.
