Profile: https://flows.cv/derekwong

I'm a design systems leader with 9+ years of experience in Product Design. I am proud to have been in the video game industry for 6+ years.

OMEN is Hewlett-Packard Inc.'s line of desktops and notebooks that are marketed towards those in the video game industry. I spearheaded the design system of the OMEN Command Center software from 0-to-1. I collaborated closely with product managers, user experience researchers, and software engineers to craft a smooth customer experience for the product.

Roblox brings the world together through play with over 150 million monthly active users. For the past 4+ years, I have worked on the uiBlox design system for their universal app, which ranges from mobile to desktop to console, VR, and beyond. I've led cross-company design strategy workshops and helped launch Roblox onto PlayStation and Meta Quest VR.

I can be contacted at hello@derekwongdesign.com and my portfolio can be viewed at derekwongdesign.com. I'm open to work in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm not open to relocating elsewhere but am open to remote in any location. Let’s make the future bright together!
