Staff Product Designer, XR
Samsung Research America, United States
Led design across product workstreams including multimodal input, hardware UX, and app ecosystem design for smart glasses across devices and platforms.
Yujie designs interfaces for physical and virtual spaces.
I’m a product designer working on XR and cross-device experiences, currently exploring multimodal interaction and AI in everyday contexts.
Profile
My work looks at how emerging technologies can move beyond tools and become part of the environment: adaptive, context-aware, and quietly integrated into how people live and act.
With a background in experiential and interactive design, I tend to think through systems, motion, and narrative, approaching product design as something that unfolds over time, across devices and spaces.
I’m especially interested in how interaction evolves as AI becomes less visible, yet more present, shifting from interface to medium.
