Senior Product Designer at Australian Payments Plus
Hey, I'm Steven, currently with the Australian Payments Plus team, pushing the boundaries of how payments can evolve in the future.
My path to product design has been a rollercoaster of successes and challenges. Before fully committing to product design, I spent six years launching and growing startups in China, a journey where my passion for designing experiences, solving problems and innovating products truly took shape.
I can share my story and learnings in the following areas: đŞBecoming an end to end product designer đLanding your first UX/UI job when: a. You have to build a portfolio from scratch. b. English isn't your first language đ¤Working in an established team vs a startup đUplifting an existing design system đCoping with imposter syndrome
âSteven is a great mentor! He carefully reviewed my portfolio and presentation, and gave me really constructive feedback. His guidance was very directional and helped me see how I can improve and position my work better.â
âSteven provided insightful advice tailored to my background, enhancing my workflow and client meeting skills as a beginner. His positivity and thorough pre-session review made the mentorship session exceptionally valuable!â
âHe helped me clarify my job search strategy, which was incredibly helpful. Impressively, he took the initiative to review my LinkedIn and portfolio even before our meeting started, which I found to be very proactive and thoughtful. Throughout our conversation, he offered numerous constructive suggestions on how to improve my portfolio.â
