Hey there, it's Lynn Qian again!
I'm a London-based UX Designer and Researcher with a background in architecture and animation.
My journey began in Shanghai, but 11 years ago, I moved to London to pursue my passion for design. I graduated with distinction from the Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London, where I started to use a mixture of 2-3D modelling software to craft cyberspace. This experience inspired me to venture into digital product design, where I could explore the future of user experience in the digital realms.
While obtaining my architect license, I dove into user experience design and achieved Google’s UX Design certificate. Since then, I have contributed to innovative decentralized finance projects like UniWorlds, Peanut Protocol, and Tixo, where I helped shape accessible and impactful digital solutions that drives product adoption rate. Currently, as an associate UX designer at Bentley Systems, I work with global cross-functional teams to optimise design and research processes for both B2B and B2C infrastructure products at an operational level. This role allows me to blend my architectural background with user research methodologies, crafting design systems that bring coherence across large-scale systems.
What truly fascinates me is the convergence of architecture and product design—the essence of human-centred experience. Architectural design, with its emphasis on spatial experience, instils in me a rational and creative spirit, while digital experience design nurtures my storytelling skills and empathy towards users. Combining the best of both worlds, I bring a unique blend of innovative thinking, strategic approach, and attention to detail to user experience design and research.
I’m eager to connect with like-minded creatives and explore collaborations that push the boundaries of user experience while making a positive societal impact.
