Professional Experience

product designer - AI startup

As a product designer at an AI startup focused on developing a AI-powered product that helps people think deeper

Interface Redesign:

Problem: Low readability of dense, content-focused conversations in the traditionally designed chat interface.

Solution: Design a content-focused layout that splits long messages, centers content on the screen, and highlights text requiring user attention. This slows down the pace, better immerses users in the thinking process, and helps users focus on content editing rather than conversation flow.

Impact: Improved user engagement, indicated by twice the length of mouse hover on each AI inquiry.

Feature enhancements:

• Bookmarking system: Allow collection and review of specific messages at any time while staying in the conversation.
• Edit suggestions: Allow users to request fine-tuning rewrites at the sentence level.
• Mode switching: Break down the thinking process into 'ideation' and 'creation'. Allow users to switch between these two modes, impacting the AI’s behavior.

Impact: Improve transparency and control over AI capabilities and generation results

UX Designer - Didi

Car Lamp Interaction Design: Designed car lamps patterns to simulate human facial expressions, creating a companion-like relationship between the car and its owner.

HMI Design for Ride-Hailing EV:

Attended user research and optimized HMI for ride-hailing drivers, providing better navigation to tools and ride-hailing specific features.

Product Designer - AI Chatbot Startup

Brief Introduction: As a product designer at a startup focused on developing an AI chatbot for entrepreneurs, I played a pivotal role in redefining product features and redesigning the main interface to enhance user experience and streamline content creation.

Key Contributions:

• Interface Redesign:
• Problem: Traditional vertical scrolling chat-interface was inefficient for content-focused conversations.
• Solution: Redesigned the interface to a conversation content-focused layout, controlling the pace of the conversation.

• Feature Enhancements:
• Bookmarking System: Introduced a bookmarking feature to allow users to mark important messages.
• Edit Suggestions: Enabled users to propose edits on individual sentences instead of entire messages.
• Mode Switching: Developed a mode-switching mechanism between exploration and creation modes, catering to different user needs.
• Impact: Enhanced user control over the conversation flow and content quality, leading to increased user satisfaction.

Thought Leadership Example:

• Innovative Design Approach: By focusing on conversation control and content creation efficiency, I contributed to a unique product differentiation in the crowded chatbot market, demonstrating thought leadership in user-centric design.

Critical Review & Improvement Suggestions:

• Detail Specific Impact: Quantify the impact of the redesign and feature enhancements (e.g., user engagement metrics, reduction in time spent on content creation).
• Highlight Collaboration: Mention any cross-functional collaborations (e.g., with developers, marketers) to showcase teamwork and interdisciplinary skills.
• User Feedback: Include insights from user feedback that guided the redesign, emphasizing a data-driven approach.

UX Designer - Didi (Electric Vehicle Projects)

Brief Introduction: As a UX designer at Didi, I contributed to two key projects involving electric vehicles, focusing on interaction design and optimizing the HMI for ride-sharing efficiency.

Key Contributions:

• Car Lamp Interaction Design:
• Problem: Lack of interactive and emotional connection between cars and their owners.
• Solution: Designed car lamps to simulate human facial expressions, creating a companion-like relationship between the car and its owner.
• Impact: Enhanced user experience by making the vehicle feel more interactive and personable.
• HMI Design for Ride-Sharing EV:
• Problem: Inefficiencies in ride-sharing operations affecting driver performance.
• Solution: Attended user research and redesigned the dashboard and functionalities to improve operational efficiency.
• Impact: Increased driver productivity and satisfaction through optimized interaction and functionality.

Thought Leadership Example:

• Innovative Interaction Design: Pioneered the use of human-like expressions in car lamp design, setting a new standard for emotional interaction in automotive UX.

Critical Review & Improvement Suggestions:

• Quantitative Results: Provide specific metrics on how the redesigned HMI improved driver efficiency (e.g., percentage increase in trip completion, reduction in idle time).
• User Research Insights: Detail the user research methods and key findings that influenced the design decisions.
• Collaborative Efforts: Highlight any collaborative efforts with engineers, product managers, or other teams to demonstrate your ability to work within a larger team structure.

General Recommendations for Improvement:

1. Quantify Impact: Wherever possible, use quantitative data to highlight the impact of your contributions. This adds credibility and demonstrates the tangible benefits of your work.
2. User-Centric Approach: Emphasize the user-centric aspects of your designs by detailing how user feedback and research guided your decisions. This shows your commitment to creating solutions that meet user needs.
3. Collaborative Skills: Mention your ability to work with cross-functional teams, as this is a valuable skill in any UX role. Highlight specific collaborations that were crucial to the success of your projects.
