Process

Hello, I'm Yi Zhang

Alex is a graduate of the Stanford Product Design program and has also been an avid language learner and creative spirit.

 

In addition to co-designing the currculum and managing the content creation for Design-Think your English, Alex has also leveraged her design skills to inspire creative confidence through the Sketchmi projet, lead international students in journeys of discovery with VIA and help Asian companies reach beyond their borders.

Yi has been facilitating design-thinking workshops and courses for the past four years with the VIA Social Innovation Program, working with hundreds of students to unlock their inner innovator in Silicon Valley and across Asia. Yi also has a love of languages and has studied English, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Hindi and Japanese over the past several decades. 

 

Design-Think your English connects these two passions to support more language learners to reach their dreams through discovering their inner innovator.
