Xtraspot: Reimagining Urban Mobility Through Shared Infrastructure
One of Wang’s most impactful projects is Xtraspot, a digital platform designed to address one of the most persistent challenges of urban life: parking. Inspired by the sharing economy, the platform allows property owners to rent out unused parking spaces while enabling drivers to locate and reserve parking in real time. Wang played a key role in redesigning the platform’s mobile experience and user interface, focusing on intuitive navigation, transaction flows, and scalable design systems.
Through improved usability and interaction design, the platform significantly enhanced user engagement and operational efficiency. The redesigned system increased user retention by 40 percent and improved usability metrics by 25 percent, while also introducing a scalable design system that reduced design-to-development handoff time.
By simplifying complex urban logistics through digital interfaces, Xtraspot demonstrates how thoughtful UX design can transform everyday infrastructure into smarter, more accessible services.
YOUWORLD: Designing Cross-Border Digital Banking Experiences
Wang’s work on YOUWORLD, a global digital banking and payment platform, further illustrates her ability to translate complex financial systems into accessible user experiences. Designed for international travelers and global consumers, the platform enables users to manage multi-currency wallets, cross-border payments, and financial services through a unified digital interface.
Wang led the UX design for key features, including KYC onboarding flows, digital wallet interfaces, and merchant dashboards, ensuring that the platform balanced regulatory compliance with user-friendly interaction design. By improving accessibility and transparency within the user journey, the platform strengthened trust among users navigating international financial systems.
Her design work contributed to improved usability and increased engagement across both consumer and merchant-facing tools.
LunaTemp: Wearable Health Technology for Families
Another notable project in Wang’s portfolio is LunaTemp, a wearable health device designed to help parents monitor their children’s temperature in real time.The system integrates a wearable thermometer with a companion mobile application, allowing caregivers to track temperature data continuously and receive alerts when abnormal readings occur. Wang designed the product’s user experience and interface ecosystem, ensuring that complex health data could be communicated clearly and intuitively.

The project was recognized internationally with a Silver Award at the 2025 London Design Awards in the UX Design – Best Connected Products & Wearables category, highlighting its innovation in family-focused health technology.
Through LunaTemp, Wang explored how wearable devices and mobile interfaces can work together to create more responsive and supportive health-monitoring systems.
WSYK.AI: AI-Powered News for the Information Age
In the rapidly evolving world of digital media, Wang also contributed to the design of WSYK.AI, an AI-driven news platform that helps users navigate the overwhelming volume of online information.
The platform uses machine learning to curate and organize news content based on user interests and behavioral patterns, presenting information through a clear, engaging interface. Wang’s design focused on simplifying complex data structures while maintaining transparency and readability. By improving content discovery and user engagement, the platform demonstrated how artificial intelligence can be integrated into digital media products while prioritizing clarity and accessibility.
The design of WSYK.AI received international recognition, earning a Silver Award at the 2024 Muse Creative Awards in the Mobile App – News category, an international competition honoring excellence in digital media and design.
Rather than focusing solely on aesthetics, her design approach emphasizes creating digital systems that balance functionality, accessibility, and emotional clarity. By translating complex technologies into intuitive experiences, Wang’s work demonstrates the expanding role of designers in shaping the future of digital ecosystems.
As industries increasingly rely on intelligent platforms and connected services, designers like Yifei Wang are helping ensure that these systems remain usable, inclusive, and meaningful for the people who rely on them every day.
