About So Eun Ahn
Product designer II at Microsoft
I’m a Product Designer with experience across agencies, startups, and now big tech. After a non-linear career journey, including a 5+ year break from design, I transitioned into big tech without a traditional path like internships or co-ops.
I’m here to share what I’ve learned along the way and help others carve out their own path, especially those pivoting careers or feeling like they’re starting from scratch.
I’m especially passionate about helping career changers, self-taught designers, and folks starting “late.” I know what it’s like to feel stuck or uncertain. If you’re navigating change or looking for clarity, I’d love to support you.
