Meet Tina!
I'm Tina Chen, a product designer recently earned my Master's in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University. Previously, I graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in Computer Science and Philosophy of Cognitive Science.
Having explored various fields and disciplines, I've found design to be the perfect outlet for my analytical and creative strengths. As a product designer, I blend data-driven insights with empathy. My goal is to address challenging problems and create impactful, innovative solutions by pushing boundaries at every stage of the design process.
My Approach To Design.
Think divergently.
In philosophy of cognitive science, we thoroughly examine mental process theories before shaping our unique rationale for understanding human behavior. Similarly, as a product designer, I firmly believe that divergent thinking leads to the optimal outcome.
Whether it's generating hundreds of design solutions or parallel prototyping at each stage of the user flow, I ensure that no potential 'gem' ideas are overlooked.
Over-communicate, if possible.
Transitioning from engineering to design, I know that product design is a collaborative endeavor. Each decision reflects a delicate balance of stakeholder needs and effective communication across functions.
To minimize inefficiency, I empathize with stakeholders and prioritize clear communication.
Embrace the emerging.
As an innovation-centric designer in the midst of AI evolution, I love incorporating emerging tools into my design process. Through meticulous prompt engineering, AI-assisted ideation, and drawing inspiration from AI-generated wireframes, I actually find increased value in my role as a product designer.
I've realized that while AI is a valuable tool for designers, it can't replace our critical thinking and usability expertise. Ultimately, the design decisions rest with us.
