ABOUTME

@amandacsim

product designer

Hello! I'm Amanda o(>ฯ‰<)o

I'm a product designer who likes diving into messy, complex problems and turning them into experiences that feel simple, natural, and easy to use. I design fast and scrappy, getting ideas out quickly, testing them in the real world, and shaping them with feedback until they truly work. For me, it's about building products that get better with every round of iteration, while enjoying the process along the way.

Outside of design, you can find me hiking, exploring aesthetic cafes, cooking (and occasionally perfecting my โ€œMichelin-starโ€ kimchi stew), travelling, or attending cycling and reformer pilates classes.


I am constantly striving to be a better designer. My goal one day is to be a compassionate, open minded, and approachable design leader, but for now, Iโ€™m having a blast designing cool things and exploring everything that design has to offer.

(01) Laptop. My partner, I literally couldnโ€™t do anything without it. I carry this everywhere.

(02) Notebooks. For ideas, sketches, etc. I particularly love the Muji notebooks!!

(03) Airpods. These are my lifeline. They allow me to concentrate and enjoy my creative process.

(04) Creative inspiration. As a designer, having artistic inspiration around me is 100% necessary.

(05) Sashimi. I could literally eat my body weight in sashimi... necessary body fuel.

(06) Honey oat latte. My favourite coffee drink ever, a must have every morning!
