Hello! It is very nice to meet you.
I'm Julie — a UI/UX Designer who's spent the last several years designing software for industries that keep the physical world running. Wildfire planners are deciding where to treat land. Construction crews are getting paid faster. Growers making sense of greenhouse data. These aren't consumer apps with forgiving users; they're high-stakes tools where a confusing screen has real consequences. That's exactly the kind of problem I like. My work sits where complex data, real constraints, and non-designer experts meet. I'm happiest turning something tangled into something clear.
Domains I've designed for
Wildfire resilience and land management · Construction fintech · AgTech · Enterprise data tools · Consumer mobile
Designing across such different fields taught me the transferable part of the job: however unfamiliar the domain, the work is always about understanding users deeply and giving them clarity.
A little about me
I studied Interactive Media Design at the University of Washington, Bothell. I'm bilingual in English and Mandarin, and I've traveled across enough places to be genuinely curious about how different people work and think, which turns out to be most of the job in UX. Of everywhere I've been, the Maldives is still my favorite, and I've got a long list of countries I want to see next. Outside of design, I spend a lot of my time keeping up with AI, following the latest trends and tools, and figuring out how they change the way we design.
Let's talk!
I'm currently open to mid-to-senior product and UI/UX design roles. The best way to reach me is julie.qianwen@gmail.com, and my résumé is here. You can also find me on LinkedIn.
