About Ben Shih

Staff Product Designer at Miro

Hey there, my name is Ben, and I am currently a Senior Product Designer for the Growth team at Miro.

Over the past 7+ years, I have worked as a data scientist, design engineer, and founding designer at multiple AI startups, as well as led design at larger organizations like Lokalise and Miro.

With a background in computer science, I am passionate about bridging the gap between design and engineering, incorporating quantitative data (such as A/B testing) into the design process, and shipping products efficiently.

I am happy to share insights on:
