Xiaodong Zhu / AI Product Portfolio
AI Product Manager — Clear, human-centered interfaces.
I translate ambiguous user problems, spatial experiences, and complex systems into product concepts, research narratives, and AI-assisted UX prototypes.
Open case study
Client-based studio project / Product vision
Energy Transition
A decision-support and public communication concept based on a Frazer-Nash Consulting energy transition brief. The project reframes nuclear energy as a system of policy, budget, trust, environmental, and stability trade-offs.
Mapped stakeholders, public concerns, hidden constraints, and decision variables.
Translated abstract energy policy into decision cards, system feedback, and scenario play.
Positioned the concept as a training, exhibition, and AI decision-support foundation.

Research-led UX / AI product synthesis
Campus Access
A spatial service concept grounded in campus wayfinding research, with a clearly labeled remote-access extension informed by a separate telepresence interface project.
Used interviews, route observation, user journeys, and context mapping to identify access barriers.
Proposed facility-first search, voice guidance, accessible routes, and quick-help entry points.
Extended the work into AI guide, indoor map, and remote presence service scenarios.
