Building AI-native design tools from product judgment, code, and taste.
Co-founder of Mew.Design. 10 yrs product manager to AI builder. Also known as GLBai and 白苏 Elliot in Chinese tech communities.
Identity
A product operator who learned to build when the old way of aligning teams became too slow for the AI era.
My work sits where product thinking, agent systems, and design output meet: AI Coding, AI Design Agents, HTML Design, and the commercial realities of AI-native software.
Operating Principles
Less interface, more result. Less model theater, more product accountability.
No model picker by default. Users bring a design need, not a model-selection problem.
Canvas is not always the language. A lower threshold matters when AI becomes the first designer.
AI-native economics are different. Token cost turns growth into a discipline, not just a vanity metric.
Learning speed beats old certainty. The fastest builder is often the one willing to leave the old system.
Writing
Essays on AI builders, design agents, coding as an agent interface, and the operating reality of AI products.
