I'm a Product Designer based in Los Angeles, interested in the intersection between software and visual storytelling, bridging the gap between design and development, and crafting accessible, sustainable solutions. With design roots in civil engineering, I like to blend technical insight with creative design, leveraging 3 years of experience integrating design, engineering, and business requirements.
Being open-minded, continuously learning, and designing with intention are core values that shape who I am as a designer.
Putting yourself in someone else's shoes allows space for new perspectives.
In whichever aspect, there are always opportunities to learn and improve.
Whether it's the details or a holistic vision, every element has purpose.
From civil engineering -> product design, I've brought along a toolkit of skills that have helped shape how I approach design challenges.
Applying problem-solving skills to identify user needs, address pain points, and create effective design solutions.
Leveraging precision in design and testing, recognizing that minor design choices can impact user experiences.
A systems thinking approach helps me understand the holistic user journey and different product interactions.
Using user data and analytics to refine designs, optimize user flows, and create usable, useful experiences.
Collaborating effectively within multidisciplinary teams, ensuring alignment with business goals and user needs.
Strategic management of design sprints, task prioritization, and timely delivery within the scope of the project.
I’m Clarissa Teng (she/her), a UX Designer passionate about solving business and user experience problems. I leverage my engineering background to design with intention, detail, and curiosity. I also enjoy dance, music, and food adventures!
