👉 Portfolio: https://portfolio-cindyshy.vercel.app/
👋 Hi, I'm Cindy! I am a multi-disciplinary product designer with over 8 years of industry experience. Based in Taiwan, I'm currently working as a freelancer.
My design experience in startups and large companies has given me a solid foundation in visual design, design thinking, interaction design, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
I love creating meaningful products and services that delight people and achieve both user goals and business value. I specialize in turning an ambiguous goal into a concrete product plan and strategy and implementing it in partnership with design, research, and engineering.
I am passionate about lifting others up. I have led teams of up to 5 UX/UI designers. Mentoring and developing people and working with them to deliver great products is fun and rewarding.
Outside of work, I enjoy researching investments. I am self-taught in financial statement and data analysis, and developing a system to automate the investment process with Scrapy.
