Hello, I’m Mia (Mengya) Hao. I am a Strategic Product Designer with 10+ years of international experience, focused on connecting human-centered design, business strategy, and emerging technologies.
Since 2021, I have specialized in scaling Fintech and Web3 products, delivering high-impact solutions for Standard Chartered, Green Link, and global clients across the full product lifecycle, from strategy and user research to design systems, integrating LLM-driven workflows and generative tools to accelerate discovery and prototyping.
I hold a Master of Applied Business Analytics from Carleton University and an MA in Graphic Branding and Identity from the University of the Arts London, combining advanced business analytics with strategic branding to navigate complex digital ecosystems and enterprise products.
I am also a photographer, with work featured by Marie Claire, New Weekly, and Sony, and shown at venues including the Shenzhen Sea World Culture & Arts Center and the Three Shadows Xiamen Photography Art Centre.
I’m always open to connecting and exploring what we might build next.
