Hello, I’m Shan Wei
When I was a child I was always drawn to art and design, with a knack for observing, imagining, and creating. Today, I'm living out that dream as a Product Designer. I'm curious and collaborative, and my main gig is solving user problems with creative design thinking. I'm dedicated to bridging the gap between people and new technology, transforming complex ideas into accessible and engaging user experiences. My journey from a dreamy kid to a professional designer has been a fulfilling adventure of turning imagination into reality while having some fun.

Experience
Born in China, now I am based in Seattle, WA. I bring over 7 years of professional experience in design. I am currently a Senior Product Designer at HMBradley, a start-up in the fintech sector. I've lead the design projects for different product verticals from online banking, RPA, to B2B. My skill set includes strategizing design, data visualization, process optimization, developing design systems, and mentoring younger designers. Previously at Baidu, I lead the design for integrating voice interaction and Text-to-Speech technology into our Audio News product . I contributed proactively to increasing its DAU and engagement. I always aim for designs that help our business grow by meeting our users' needs and company goals.
