Michelle Yao (she/her)

Marketing & Partnership Lead
 
Michelle started the community back in Jan 2020 simply because she and her friends peek into industry alumni’s LinkedIn profiles all the time and wonder whether they were as confused as she was when she was an art student. Michelle is longing for a world where no design students will have to give up their passion and dream of becoming a designer.

Ryan Yao (he/him)

Community & Tech/Product Lead
 
Ryan joined the Alumi team in Oct 2021🎉. He struggled a lot when he was looking for a product designer role as fresh Emily Carr grads. Fortunately, he got a lot of help from the design community throughout the years. Now he wants to give back to the community, especially for those students who graduated from design/art schools.
