About San Cheng
Founder at 8Knot
I have over 12 years of product design experience within corporate, agency, and start up teams as one of a few or the one and only design voice and advocate.
My medium-agnostic and fast-learning chops have granted me the privilege of working on e-ink e-readers to non-profit websites to web, iOS and Android applications. I've created and co-created a ridiculous amount of features, thereby developing foresight for the downstream complexities. From this, understanding and communicating technical trade-offs and consequences is integral to my approach as I've collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders to see ideas vetted into non-existence or flourish towards launch.
I've previously mentored career transitioners, entry level/junior, contract, and other types of designers (brand, graphic, print, fashion, etc.) so I'm excited to continue that effort on this here platform.
