Location: Sunnyvale, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/tians

With over 9 years of experience in UI/UX design, I am passionate about creating engaging and user-friendly digital products that solve real-world problems. My core competencies include research, prototyping, testing, and iterating on design solutions that meet the needs and expectations of customers and stakeholders. I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Iowa State University, and I am currently a Senior Interaction Designer at Arlo Technologies, a leading provider of smart home security solutions.

At Arlo Technologies, I collaborate with product managers, engineers, marketers, and other designers to understand design needs and provide research and design recommendations. I create sketches, prototypes, wireframes, interaction assets, and visual guides so others can visually understand the design direction. I also lead creative workshops to understand and align business requirements. I am always eager to learn new tools and techniques to enhance my design skills and deliver innovative and impactful products.
