# Jocelyn Sun > Product Designer (0→1) | HCIM @ UMD | B.A. CompSci & CogSci @ UC Berkeley Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jocelynsun Hi, I’m Jocelyn — a product designer with an M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction from UMD and a B.A. in Computer Science & Cognitive Science from UC Berkeley. I specialize in user research, product strategy, and interaction design, with experience designing web and mobile experiences in early-stage and research-driven teams. I’m passionate about creating intuitive, inclusive products, especially for users who are less tech-savvy. I’m skilled in Figma and prototyping, and I pay close attention to hierarchy, usability, and user expectations. I thrive in ambiguity and enjoy turning complex problems into simple, engaging solutions. Open to new opportunities where design can make a lasting impact. ## Work Experience ### Product Designer @ Stealth Startup Jan 2025 – Present Consumer-facing AI agent, from designing features to production code end-to-end. ### Product Designer @ Stealth Startup Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 - Led in strategic decision-making process by identifying key product features, aligning with market trends and addressing critical user pain points found in currently available products. - Orchestrated the comprehensive design of user flow in wireframes, emphasizing seamless usability, intuitive guidance, and robust error prevention and handling mechanisms for a frictionless user experience. ### UX Research Assistant @ Democratizing Data (democratizingdata.ai) Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 - Developed 20+ wireframes for the landing site to effectively communicate the project concept publicly. - Designed the information architecture of the entire landing site to ensure a smooth user experience. - Provided assistance in hosting a 1-hour remote webinar and 1-day in-person workshop with researchers and agency personnel to market and get feedback on multiple products. ### Product Designer @ Library of Congress Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 - Led 5 design sprints using the five-stage process to develop a comprehensive high-fidelity design website. - Produced over 10 paper sketches to clearly illustrate newly ideated design concepts throughout the project, ensuring alignment with stakeholder expectations and incorporated feedback from user testing. - Orchestrated a concurrent workflow of design and research in person among a team of 5, optimizing efficiency and improving work quality within 2 weeks. - Streamlined the problem space across multiple platforms to actionable sprint goals and a consistent long-term goal, maximizing project impact and value. ### Undergraduate Research Assistant @ Berkeley Institute of Design Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Berkeley ScholarPhi - • Compiled and processed recording transcripts for qualitative analysis and summarized major findings of the study • Conducted usability study sessions and made detailed observations for major behavioral themes • Coordinated a 27-participant remote usability study via Zoom to evaluate usage patterns of a prototype user interface • Improved the stability of the user interface through improved batching of requests for application-critical data from external APIs Torii - • Provided system design suggestions and testing feedback throughout the process • Provided suggestions for usability study design to be more informative and predictive of actual user behaviors • Created content for demonstration by replicating and extending on existing tutorials ### Course Tutor @ University of California, Berkeley Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 - Held office hours to help students with understanding course-related concepts and the real-world applications of data science, such as linear and logistic regressions, and programing with python libraries (Scikit-learn, Numpy, Pandas, Seaborn, Matplotlib) - Graded student’s homework and projects focusing on accurate and insightful interpretation of data with context - Mentored lab assistants on teaching and communicating skills and received positive feedback ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Human Computer Interaction University of Maryland ### Bachelor of Arts - BA in Cognitive Science, Computer Science University of California, Berkeley ### High School Lynbrook High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/jzsun2 --- Source: https://flows.cv/jocelynsun JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/jocelynsun/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
