Hi, Iβm Siyu!ππ»
I'm a product designer and former educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
My career began as a curriculum developer at an Edtech startup based in China. During my time there, I collaborated closely with product managers and engineers, contributing to the development and launch of courses. I also utilized my hobby of drawing to create illustrations for a bilingual education book that was published in 2015. (See my illustrations below.ππ»)
After moving to the Bay Area in 2019, I became a bilingual Mandarin teacher. Although I enjoyed spending time with my students in the classroom, I missed being in a more technical position like my previous roles. Therefore, I made the decision to pivot my career into product design, where I could leverage my creative skills and experience working on a product team.π©π»βπ»
As a product designer and former educator, I always approach my career and work with a growth mindset. I believe in the power of design to empower users to accomplish their goals and foster personal growth.πΏ
