Hi, I’m Aliena Cai.
Here’s why to learn from me.

eBay
former Sr. Product Designer
👋 Founder, Aliena Design LLC · ex-eBay
It all started with FaceTime and my grandma. 👵🏼📱
My love for product design started at 15, when I moved from China to Canada on my own for a better education and said goodbye to my family. The first digital product that made me want to do this for a living was FaceTime. It let my family, especially my grandma, and me stay close, even with an ocean between us. More than a decade later, I still FaceTime my grandma every day.
Since then, I’ve studied and worked at the Stanford d.school, designed for eBay and many startups, and led the design of eBay’s Pay-Per-Click advertising products used by millions of sellers. I’ve also guest lectured in the HCI programs at the University of Washington and Northeastern University.
As a design nerd and content creator, I’ve partnered with:
Figma
Framer
Lovable
Notion
Miro
Coursera
Bolt
Replit
Along the way, one thing surprised me: design is taught very differently in bootcamps and schools than how it’s actually done in tech. So for the past 3 years, I’ve been teaching full-time, growing my YouTube channel to 150K+ subscribers and building Fast Track UX into an official Figma Partner Bootcamp with 1,000+ students.
My three superpowers
My style is very different from other educators out there.
🪄
I make difficult things easy
It’s the #1 reason students pick me over thousands of other options. I had to learn most things in two languages, so I explain them the simplest way, from first principles.
🎤
I’m a comedian at heart
If I weren’t a designer, I might be a stand-up comedian. Humor helps you break down complex situations, understand the people behind them, and stay positive when things get hard.
🎭
I show, I don’t tell
There’s no single right answer in design. So I role-play different stakeholders (some intense, all very funny), and you see how things are really done in tech and find a communication style that fits you.
My mission is to help you break into Big Tech and unlock a fulfilling, well-paid and impactful career in product design.
In 10 years, I hope you’re the one leading the industry forward and bringing real, positive social impact through design. Ultimately, I want you to become a much better designer than me.
Hope to see you in class! — Aliena 💛
