Profile: https://flows.cv/helenzhaok

Hi! I am a seasoned Product Designer with a background in mathematics, statistics, and finance. I leverage this expertise to deeply understand the business goals we aim to achieve, conduct user research, and analyze materials and data to identify the root problems that users are struggling with. I then address these problems by clearly defining the appropriate user segment and creating tailored experiences for different groups.

When working on solutions, I sketch concepts and prototype to test and validate them using a mix of research methodologies. This approach allows me to fail quickly, evolve rapidly, and minimize risks and uncertainties as much as possible. My goal is to solve users problems that meet business objectives through impactful experience design.
