About The Designer
FangYi Gao
Product Designer
"As a designer, I am not afraid to fail fast and take risks to achieve better designs in the future.
I value interactions with others, the research, the tinkering and the messy doodles as much as I value the final design. I truly believe that everyone is creative, and my role as a designer is to see problems and solutions from other people's perspectives, and help visualize thoughts and ideas into a physical product.
I am a creative thinker, a good listener, a storyteller and a problem solver."
