Hi, I'm Olivia Xu 👋

I design clarity out of chaos. With 10 years in design and 6+ bringing AI-driven SaaS from 0→1, I focus on turning data-heavy, complex workflows into intuitive products that make work lighter and decision faster. 🪄✨

💬 A little about me…

My design approach is grounded in understanding how people work, seeing where they struggle, and designing systems that make their workflows more efficient. I work closely with users and engineers to design systems that are both intuitive and technically feasible.

My design career started with storyboards. Working in animation and video production taught me how to guide people through ideas with visual storytelling. That foundation still shapes how I approach product design today. In recent years, my work has focused on designing AI-powered, data-intensive SaaS platforms. At AnChain.AI, I led the design of a blockchain risk and investigation platform built from the ground up. The tools I created help financial crime investigators and analysts automate repetitive work and manage complex cases with confidence.

Today, my focus is in the space where AI, data, automation, and usability meet, where design can reduce friction and make advanced technology feel effortless.

Patent Work

I’ve been fortunate to contribute to innovations that became patented. One highlight was leading design on a system recognized for automating blockchain money-flow tracing:
