I'm Douglas, a product designer who codes, specialising in B2B enterprise workflows and developer ecosystems.

I design scalable, intelligent experiences that simplify complex systems for businesses and engineers.

I thrive in fast-moving teams where ideas move quickly and data drives iteration. I wear many hats across the product lifecycle, but I focus on building scalable design systems, refining user journeys, and shipping thoughtful products that grow with users.

WORK EXPERIENCE
At 2 early-stage startups, I helped build products from 0 to 1, designing intuitive experiences and shaping product strategy. I also contribute to developer community growth and conduct independent research to explore and validate new ideas.
Eigent AI

Founding Product Designer
2025 - Now

I own the whole product design for all our products. I designed, implemented, and shipped the core component library based on Radix. I also built and now maintain the marketing site for both our Developer Community and Business Customers. Check out our latest release on Eigent!

CAMEL-AI

Design Engineer
2024 - Present

At CAMEL-AI, I lead the design for our research-driven developer community with over 25K members and 35K+ GitHub stars. I deliver all the marketing materials, design and maintain the website, and work closely with researchers to turn the latest research outcomes into real, practical products.

AgentX
|
Product Designer
2023 - 2025

I was involved in building several core B2B product flows, from 0 → MVP → the official 1.0 release with 40+ enterprise users. I designed the Agent-building platform brick by brick — from the main builder flow to payments, workspaces, team & authorization system as well as the 2 version of Floating AI Chatbot for Client's websites.

Mingle AI
|
Founder
2023 - 2024

Mingle AI started as a side project — a competition organised by University of Pennsylvania & Tsinghua University. After getting awarded for Most Investable Award, I took this project to be accepted into the Brackley Product Builder powered by Barclays Eagle Labs, a UK Government-supported program which supported me to learn validating and building products from scratch.

Rankbattles
|
Product Designer
2023

Rankbattles was where it all began — the true start of my journey into digital product design. I designed the platform from rough sketches all the way to an MVP. That project taught me what it means to turn ideas into something people can actually use.

SKILLS & TECH STACK
I'm a super IC on the team — hands-on with everything. I work closely with PMs from the earliest stages of product strategy and requirements, own the entire design process end-to-end, and deliver production-ready code so engineers can ship fast.

AI is part of every step in my workflow. I still spend time visualizing ideas in Figma — though maybe not for long (I'm betting on a new tool called "Pencil – Design Mode for Cursor.")

Tools I Use Daily: Figma, Cursor, Jitter, Claude, Eigent, Notion

Tech Stack: React, Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel, Motion, Git

EDUCATION & PROJECTS
Interdisciplinary Designer with Global Mindset —— My academic background centers on Human–AI Interaction, driven by a passion for leveraging AI technologies to create positive societal impact. I hold a double Master's degree MSc/MA from Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art, and have studied design across China, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, shaping a truly global perspective on innovation and user experience.
