Yuan Wang is Head of Design at Maven. She's passionate about supporting designers to grow their careers with intention. Prior to Maven, she spent a decade leading design at Airbnb, Twitter, and Mozilla.

She's also a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and runs a design leadership coaching practice alongside her role at Maven. Yuan is a design lecturer at RISD and previously adjunct professor at California College of the Arts.

She was one of the earliest design instructors on Maven (launched first cohort in 2021 and later on joined the Maven team full-time as the design lead).

This workshop brings both sides of her work together: the real world practitioner who has navigated the player-coach role across multiple companies since 2018, and the certified coach trained to help others do the same.
