A Diagnostician DesignerMengzhe Ye

Question the “How”

To rebuild the “Normal”.

Core Strengths

Build the want. Then build the product.

The retention isn’t from rewards. It’s from a resolved conflict.

EdTech Gamification

Diagnosing. Wagering. Conceding.

I don’t stop at plausible. I stop at proven.

Hypothesis-Driven Design

From unasked to usable.

Most designers test what exists. I study what’s unknown.

Yi Rental

Mobile Design Marketplace

Rebuilt the listing around verified track record, turning an unvetted marketplace into a credible one.

Pro Skills

Decoder

Trace the source. Trust the output.

Hundreds of course records, dozens of edge cases, one planner that kept breaking. I sat with the backend engineers and traced all of it back to a single problem.

Transposer

Borrow the structure. Beat the default.

When the board fills up with three versions of the same safe idea, I’m the one who puts up a fourth, borrowed from a discipline nobody in the room came from.

Diagnostician

Question the ask. Win the yes.

I’d rather have an uncomfortable scope conversation in week one than hand over a beautiful version of the wrong page in week six.
