Translating Design into Metrics
As the founding designer, I drove LingoEcho from concept to launch and helped the team secure funding from YC China.
I built the brand and product experience from the ground up, transforming 2D illustrations into a cohesive UI system and delivering a responsive frontend that aligned design and engineering. My work enabled the team to ship a compelling MVP and position LingoEcho as a standout solution in a crowded language learning space.
