# Tammy Gu > Senior Product Designer @ Atlassian Location: Berkeley, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/tammygu 👋 Hi there! I'm Tammy. I’m a product designer with 4 years of experience designing web-based platforms and place a focus on UX, research, and data-informed design strategy. 🚀 I'm most moved when designing experiences that tap into more deeply held emotions, needs & aspirations. I feel particularly inspired when connecting with users through exploratory interviews and leveraging insights to draft findings reports that act as the foundation for design strategy sessions. I find joy in the iterative process and will go the extra mile to test hypothesis after hypothesis to find the most consumer-driven, product-led solution. 🌱 I'm a strong believer that with curiosity, you can find a way to get through to anyone, and I'm happiest when I get to work with people who love asking questions, value transparency, and appreciate, as well as find ways to elevate, demographic and cognitive diversity. 💬 If you’re interested in working together, please don’t hesitate to say hello at tammydgu@gmail.com or check out my portfolio at www.tammygu.com ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer, Confluence AI @ Atlassian Jan 2022 – Present ### Founding Design Lead/Manager @ Sutro Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area • Player coach leading design for ongoing product design projects with multiple startups including YC backed companies from Seed to Series C. • Leveraged user data, human-centered design frameworks, and cross-functional collaboration to inform design strategy. • Defined internal frameworks for designer growth and development from scratch including processes for hiring, leveling, and performance reviews. ### Design Fellow @ On Deck Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 On Deck Design Fellowship Inaugural Cohort ### UX/UI and Full Stack Instructional Assistant and Tutor @ UC Berkeley Extension Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Product Design Lead & Co-Founder @ Harness Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area • Defined company approach to product design and independently led end-to-end projects for numerous complex, consumer-facing features. • Ensured alignment with engineering, customer success and leadership to build feature & product roadmap from scratch. • Defined approach to and conducted user research deep dives to refine user understanding and inform feature development and desirability.
