Hi, I'm Hengyi Ren, a Product Designer in the Bay Area, specializing in AI-native products.

Currently Founding Designer at Accio, startup within Alibaba US Group, designing agentic experience where AI absorb complexity while keeping humans in control.

I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington with a Master of Science in Human Computer Interaction Design (HCI/d). Previously, I received a Bachelor's degree in Architecture — both shaped how I think about systems and human behavior.

When I'm not designing, I play bass and dig various kinds of music. I am into Jazz, Psychedelic, Noise, Jungle, and a lot of good old stuffs... Get in touch with me at hengyiren33@gmail.com and feel free to connect on LinkedIn!
