Hello, I’m Elaine 👋

I design well-crafted product systems where clarity makes real work effortless.

Previously @SilverIcing

As the first product designer at Silver Icing, I worked with the CEO and a small product team to transform how Stylists sell and customers shop.

In that time, I:

📚
Built the company’s first design system from the ground up
💡
Pitched 20+ ideas that shaped the product roadmap
🚀
Got over half approved and several launched across web and app
📦
Have 3 major projects shipping in 2025

Where I Started

Before Silver Icing, I led design solo at Time Transform and completed a Master’s in Digital Media through UBC’s CDM program. My path also includes jewelry, graphic design, and art teaching, experiences that shaped my eye for detail and strengthened my human-centred thinking.

In case you’re curious

In Mandarin, my legal name is Yi-Ting, which sounds exactly like Eating.

I have a tendency to disappear into visual details until the UI feels “quiet enough.”

I fell down a Google People + AI Guidebook rabbit hole and got mildly obsessed with human-in-the-loop design.
