Hey, I’m Shirley Du 👋

I’m a product designer who bridges 👁️ human psychology, 🧩 complex systems, and 🤖AI capabilities to turn tangled product problems into 👥 clear, seamless user experiences.

So, what’s your background?
I’m currently pursuing an M.S. in Design Technology at Cornell University. Before that, I earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Human-Computer Interaction and Psychology—with a minor in Design—from Carnegie Mellon University.


Previously, I interned at Tencent, where I designed AI-powered meeting and smart-recording experiences.

What gets your design brain buzzing?
I enjoy bringing clarity to complex B2B/SaaS experiences through structured thinking, user research, and cross-functional collaboration. I’m particularly drawn to the potential of AI-enabled products.
What’s your relationship with AI?
I’m an active AI explorer. I use tools like











to to learn quickly, evaluate design directions, and turn ideas into prototypes—sometimes through a little vibe coding.
Any shiny things on the shelf?
A few I’m especially grateful for:






And when you’re not designing?
I’m usually chasing a good downhill 🚲 bike ride, a 🎧 new song, or a 🎤 karaoke mic. I also love dissecting 📽️ movies and series, searching for the best 🍲 hot pot and 🍵 matcha desserts, and slowly teaching myself 📷 portrait photography.
