About Kevin Duong

Sr. Product Design Manager at Twitch

👋 I'm a designer from Toronto, Canada and currently based in San Francisco. I work at Twitch where I build commerce experiences and help creators monetize. Previously, I worked at Flipp where I started as their first Product Designer and grew the UX team to 5. I went to school for graphic design, advertising and digital media but I've loved designing things since I was 9.

I'm mostly here to share stories and struggles so hopefully you can learn from my mistakes. I'd be happy to chat to folks from all stages of career and backgrounds. I can also share some of my experiences in the UX field, driving strategy, transition from other fields, interviewing and landing a job across borders, where to go after intermediate/senior designer, etc. I have over 10+ years of Product Design experience and I also do hand lettering, graphic design and packaging design on the side.

Otherwise, I enjoy talking about sneakers, culture, photography, travel, food, content creation, esports and general design industry stuff.

Cheers!

Sessions with Kevin Duong

• Mentorship Session (30 min): General mentorship

What mentees say

“I contacted Kevin to get his insights on UX design in the game industry. I enjoyed talking with him. He let me drive the conversation instead of presumably throwing what he knows. This makes the mentoring experience very lighthearted and fun, while he generously shared his knowledge throughout the convo. Also, it's inspiring to know someone equally passionate about helping creators monetize.”

“Kevin was amazing! Easy to talk to and gave great insight on what I had on my portfolio so far. It was great talking about Twitch since I'm a streamer myself and reminded me to remember who I'm designing for in my latest project. Definitely someone I will look up to during my budding career! 11/10!”

“Kevin is such a fun person to talk to! He has great energy and makes you feel super comfortable chatting (no awkwardness at all as one might feel during chats). Really appreciated the insights and feedback he gave on my case study, my head was a lot clearer after our meet and I was inspired to take action - 10/10 recommend !! :^)”
