# Cynthia Weng > Senior UX Designer at Temper And Forge Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/cynthiaweng I'm a multi-disciplinary product designer with 5+ years of experience designing for robotics and enterprise tools. I’m currently at Temper And Forge where I lead the design for a B2B SaaS API platform for a stealth-mode startup. Before that, I worked at Meta (via Beyondsoft), designing both the digital and physical interfaces for autonomous robots used in data centers. My work centers on crafting meaningful digital experiences that improve usability, build trust, and drive measurable business outcomes. At the core of my approach is an open mindset grounded in collaboration and curiosity. I love building products from the ground up, from understanding users and defining the “why” to shaping solutions that align with real needs and the broader market landscape. I bring a thoughtful, end-to-end perspective that blends systems thinking, user advocacy, and technical feasibility. I’m known for my attention to detail, ability to manage complex projects, and commitment to maintaining strong communication with clients and partners. Outside of design, I’ve developed a deep love for plants and now care for a collection of more than 60. I enjoy going to local plant events, connecting with other plant enthusiasts, and occasionally selling plants. Recently, I’ve adopted a Marie Kondo-inspired mindset. The collection is still big, but now it’s filled with only the ones that truly spark joy. ## Work Experience ### Senior UX Designer @ Temper And Forge Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area • Lead 0→1 experience for an AI-powered B2B SaaS API platform at a stealth-mode startup, enabling users to publish, discover, and build custom integrations. • Conduct competitive analysis and define product requirements to shape the roadmap, prioritize features, and align business strategy with user needs. • Build and govern a design system that drives design consistency and accelerates development. • Facilitate workshops with stakeholders to align on business goals, ideate features, and define value propositions that drive user adoption. ### UX Designer @ Temper And Forge Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco Bay Area ### UX Designer (via Beyondsoft) @ Meta Jan 2020 – Jan 2023 | Fremont, CA • Led end-to-end human-machine interface (HMI) design for Meta’s autonomous robots and data center hardware products. • Designed a robot fleet management tool from the ground up, enabling teams to manage robot details, system updates, and data center maps at scale. • Streamlined drive eradication workflows through automation, improving process reliability and reducing manual effort. • Established a scalable robotics design system to ensure cross-product consistency. • Defined concept of operations (ConOps) to inform system-level decisions. • Authored and maintained comprehensive design specifications to ensure consistent and accurate feature implementation. ### UX Designer @ FEED/DEPT® Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | San Francisco, California, United States • Led end-to-end UX strategy and execution within a global, cross-functional team to deliver an AI-powered internal creative tool for eBay. • Conducted and synthesized research from 60+ users to uncover workflow gaps, define product requirements, and validate high-impact features. • Developed personas, user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes to drive team alignment and guide development. ### Teaching Assistant @ Rhode Island School of Design Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 | Providence, Rhode Island, United States Mentored and guided 120+ students in developing problem-solving skills and iterative thinking through prototyping in order to build a strong foundation in design process and thinking. ### Planner Intern @ Flex Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Milpitas, California • Designed a high-fidelity prototype for a smock portal, streamlining the ordering process for 1,600+ employees and improving operational efficiency. • Planned and executed company-wide events, including All-Hands meetings and employee BBQs, enhancing engagement and overall employee experience. • Synthesized business data into presentations for QBRs, All-Hands, and leadership meetings to inform strategic decisions and drive alignment. ### IT Program Manager Intern @ Flex Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Milpitas, California Optimized the Pulse Center platform by redesigning its information architecture and visual layout, increasing record accessibility and streamlining workflows to reduce company overhead. ## Education ### Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Industrial and Product Design Rhode Island School of Design ### Brown University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/wengcynthia - Portfolio: https://www.cynthiaweng.com/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/cynthiaweng JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/cynthiaweng/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
