About Me.
Hello again. My name is Kehan Yu, and I also go by Moira. I am a product designer with a UX master's degree from the University of Michigan. Before I became a UX designer, I used to work in recruitment consulting and education consulting.
Beyond work, I enjoy traveling (the photo is me traveling in Hong Kong), seeing musicals, and going to music festivals. As a child, I started to play Go at the age of 9 and I rank about amateur 2d. I play Go online nowadays but I've got my own set. Last year, I just started learning yoga and mindfulness meditation and I found them useful for finding inner peace.
If you are interested in my work or just want to make a new friend, feel free to email me at kehanyu0709@gmail.com or say hi on LinkedIn.
