Hi, I’m Ruoyun ;)

UX designer crafting digital products. I’ve worked with Healthcare leaders like Philips, Laerdal Medical, and DigiBio. I help companies bridge gaps by uncovering unique insights to drive innovation, transforming complex user needs into empowering, inclusive solutions.

Off-screen, I’m spoiling a Birman cat, mixing Italian-Chinese flavors, or collecting human stories on city sidewalks. For me, technology should empower people not exclude them. Let’s brew positive change! ✨

Myskill, designing a self-directed skills learning app for nursing students

Client: Laerdal Medical | Role: UX Designer (Intern) | Duration: 3 Months, 2022

Hypothesis Testing Cross-Functional Collaboration User research report
50% of nursing students commit post-graduation errors due to fragmented practice and skill retention gaps. At Laerdal Medical, I prototyped and tested Myskill—a self-directed learning app enabling effective skill training of procedures via AI-driven mentorship and adaptive feedback, reducing peer dependency while building competence and clinical confidence for nursing students.

Seeme: designing social skills training app for visual-impaired students↗

Self-driven project | Duration: 4 Months, 2019 | Full case study available

Immersive Research User Testing Assistive Tech
65% of communication is non-verbal, yet traditional education for visually impaired students lacks training in non-verbal skills, leading to social anxiety, low confidence ("Is my smile looking strange to others?"), and isolation. In a self-driven project, I conducted immersive research and partnered with blind participants to create Seeme. Seeme, a mobile app that acts as a non-visual mirror to reflect users' social behaviors, uses AI to detect nonverbal cues and translate them into real-time audio guidance (e.g., "Your smile feels warm—keep it up!"). The app pairs this with a community-driven practice platform for safe social skill-building.

Philips IGT: Enhancing Medical UX in Image-Guided Therapy (IGT)

Client: Philips | Role: UX Designer (Intern) | Duration: 6 Months, 2022

Medical UX Design Clinical Stakeholder Collaboration Voice of Customer Interview
Philips IGT aimed to validate next-generation medical devices for different intervention procedures, like the EasyICE catheter—a safer, minimally invasive alternative to traditional TEE devices for cardiac interventions. As the UX designer, I joined 4 IGT product teams, bringing advanced medical concept and complex procedure flows into visual storyboard and UI mockups. Validated concepts with professional users, and proved the clinical and commercial viability of emerging image-guided therapy technology to surgeons and stakeholders.

What makes me happy about in life…

Off-screen, I’m spoiling a Birman cat, mixing Italian-Chinese flavors, or collecting human stories on city sidewalks. During weekend, I also sometimes participate in Living Library events as a volunteer. For me, technology should empower people not exclude them. And it is important always to expand our borders, to talk with different people, to see the missed gaps in society. Let’s brew positive change together! ✨
