# Judith (Yamei) Leng > product design @ justworks Location: United States, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/judith https://www.judithleng.me/ I'd like to think about product design as an ongoing endeavor of putting technology into larger contexts to solve problems across human touchpoints. I'm learning to take a holistic view of design itself as a tool to start conversations around something bigger than ourselves. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Justworks Jan 2022 – Present | New York, New York, United States 2022 - 2024 - justworks time tracking, web + mobile apps - semi-monthly timecards in support of vertical expansion, ~1.9M ARR 2025 onwards - payroll & tax, experience unification across 3 products ### Senior Product Designer @ BuzzFeed Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | New York, United States - continued optimization and experiments with the new buzzfeed shopping - cms tooling improvement ### Product Designer @ BuzzFeed Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | New York, New York, United States leading design on buzzfeed commerce! a sample of projects i worked on: - gift guide 2020 (550%+ YoY rev growth) - buzzfeed shopping redesign (buzzfeed.com/shopping) - buzzfeed shopping redesign on iOS + android - product strategy + discovery ### Design and Research Co-Lead @ NASA Ames Research Center Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Mountain View, California Explored solutions to provide structured collaboration for NASA engineers involved in the Space Launch System (SLS) program to get to mission success in human deep space exploration. ### Museum Experience Designer @ Carnegie Museum of Natural History Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Greater Pittsburgh Area Conceptualized and implemented an unfacilitated exhibit design to add to museum's exhibition on Anthropocene and delivered recommendations for adding relevance to a relatively unfamiliar topic. ### UX and Game Designer @ Philips Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Greater Pittsburgh Area Collaborated with two designers and delivered a physical game that help reduce interrupted sleep in young professionals. ### UX Design Consultant @ Carnegie Mellon University Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Greater Pittsburgh Area Conceptualized and delivered additional functionality to student online platform to provide consistent and comprehensive support through students' journey at CMU. ### Design Research Prototyper @ Alpha (alphahq.com) Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 Created 40+ interfaces and prototypes to test out product concepts, facilitate UX improvement and gain business insights.
