Shining Yu, UI/UX Designer

I'm Shining, a UI/UX designer and computer science student. I design interfaces, then I build them, and I like the ones that feel alive: bold, minimal, and a little playful.

I study Applied Computer Science at George Mason University, concentrating in Software Engineering with a minor in Design Thinking. I've led design and project management on teams of up to seven, built full design systems in Figma, and earned the Google UX Design Certificate.

Before college I served two years as Military Police in the Singapore Armed Forces. Now I run tutor hiring and operations at Mindset2Learn Tutoring and teach on the side. I speak English and Mandarin, and off screen I play drums for 50K followers on TikTok.
