Hi, I'm Yuwei Fu.
A team leader (5+ yrs) and UX designer (10+ yrs) experienced in both managing remote teams and building them quickly from scratch.
Introduction
I love to find UX solutions that delight customers and impact business. To accomplish this, I start with the north star and work backwards, defining clear goals and building strong teams with amazing talents.
I’m currently a UX Design Manager at Amazon, with one foot in B2B partnerships (global selling and shipping) and another foot in internal data management (data storage and access). In the past two years, my team has launched 50+ features across five platforms that have impacted business over $80 billion (Amazon Logistics revenue worldwide in 2020, 150% increase YoY). I have also built two teams with half a dozen designers across vastly different time zones (USA/ China).
Before joining Amazon, I worked as a UX Design Lead at several world-class digital agencies, working across a wide range of platforms (web, mobile, kiosk, etc). I served numerous Fortune 500 firms and 30+ international brands, winning multiple awards (Emmys, Cannes, Webby, etc), delighting customers (4.6 avg. app store rating), and impacting business (including $78M investment for FuboTV). From time to time, I also love to share my passion for design as a public speaker, broadcast interviewer, event organizer, and digital artist.
