Salie Chien

Product Designer @ Agoda

  

Hi! I am Salie, a Taiwanese product designer currently based in Bangkok.

I have created digital products since 2016, striving to make people enjoy the digital world through memorable, useful, and friendly experiences. I seek to create simple aesthetic interactive experiences by learning, practicing, and reflecting regularly.

At the beginning of my career path as a designer, I delivered various designs for clients from leading tech companies, startups, and design agencies. Currently, I am a Product Designer at Agoda. I worked on Agoda Flights for the next level after it launched in mid-2019, curated a better experience for Product Marketing, and now focusing on the Quarantine Hotel project and the experience of Accommodation Booking.

At Agoda, I co-initiated a recruitment/mentorship program and gave a public speech to increase awareness of Agoda Design, and partnered with Thammasat Design Center to mentor a couple of talents. The program finally becomes a regular session in the Agoda design team.
