Hey, I’m Tien-Tien, a product design based in the (metro) Atlanta, GA area. I love to find the sweet spot between technology and hospitality to create empowering experiences that help people do their best work.

I’ve been designing for the past 5 years, with a focus on digital product experiences. I approach design with a multidisciplinary lens using different processes and methods depending on the context at hand. My work spans a variety of industries and domains working with early stage ventures to midsize organizations, serving both SMBs and businesses at scale. I thrive in both in an autonomous environment where I can dive deep into complex problems, but knowing when to come up for air to collaborate and jam with my team. Whether it's brainstorming big-picture solutions or fine-tuning details, I'm all about creating value for customers in both big and iterative ways.

I’ve mentored designers at CareerFoundry, giving feedback on their work and career advice

Made a few YouTube videos. This one is one of my favorites to make

Back in the day, worked with a fun group of folks to win this hackathon.

I love working with highly collaborative people who encourage trusting, transparent, and respectful relationships. I've worked with some amazing people along the way and I hope to bring the same energy to others. I’d love the opportunity to hear what you and your team are up to next!

Things I enjoy outside of design

I am a boba enthusiast, enjoy talking about Shiba Inus (not the crypto), and love munching on crispy snacks when I get the chance.
