Hey, I’m Monica Yang.
I’m a UX Designer based in NYC/NJ.
I’m open to onsite, hybrid and remote roles. Here are some examples of my work.
GAF
North America’s largest roofing products manufacturer
UI/UX Designer | 04/2023 - Present
Analytics
User research
Responsive Design
Improved user engagement
GAF’s blog had 700K yearly visitors but little engagement. Money spent on content-creation was wasted by a poor user experience. I leveraged analytics and competitive research to redesign the experience.

Created an intuitive navigation menu
GAF’s old navigation menu was bloated, overwhelming and negatively impacted SEO. Through user interviews, testing and analytics work, I was able to get stakeholder buy-in for a redesigned, user-friendly menu.

Designed a food-sharing app to reduce waste
This case study shows how my team and I used research to determine what MVP flows should look like. Prioritization was essential as we quickly cycled from brainstorms to wireframes and high-fidelity designs in week-long sprints.

The Children’s Place
Before pivoting into UX, I designed shoes for a kid’s fashion brand.
Shoe Designer | 1/2026 - 9/2021
About me
I’ve been a life-long designer, and my first career was in shoe design. Working in fashion taught me how to work around time and budget constraints to deliver impactful products.
Today, I’m a UI/UX designer at GAF, a roofing manufacturer with 30 plants nationwide. I design for GAF’s website, which serves 7 million users annually. I oversee the end-to-end design process from initial kickoff through research, testing and handoff.
In this role, I advocate for UX principles and research-based designs while balancing trade-offs with stakeholder asks.
