Product Designer & Design Manager|SF Bay Area|AI music & Artist Products @TikTok
15+ years designing consumer products — 5 in people management, 3 leading global teams. At TikTok I lead up to 20 product and creative designers on TikTok Music’s artist-facing products, and I still design hands-on, especially our AI music and video tools.
TikTok Music (San Jose, USA)
Lead design for TikTok’s artist-facing products — SoundOn, TikTok Music Promotion, the Music Ecosystem, AI Music, and AI MV. Manage a global team of up to 20 UX and creative designers across time zones, setting design direction and quality standards while staying hands-on: I personally own the end-to-end design of our AI music and AI video experiences, from first concept to shipped product.
Douyin Design (Beijing, China)
Led design for Douyin’s AIGC and creator tools — ByteArtist (AI image creation), Magic, and Anyweb (H5 and website-building tools). Managed product and visual designers while staying in the work myself: set the design language for our AI creation tools and personally drove the core creation flows from 0 to 1.
Tencent Cloud (Beijing, China)
Design Lead for Tencent Culture & Tourism, within Tencent Cloud. Owned design across the vertical’s entire project portfolio — including the 0-to-1 design of the official app and WeChat mini-program created with Universal Beijing Resort, from first concept through launch.
Tencent Sports (Beijing, China)
Owned UX for Tencent Sports — Tencent’s live sports platform — across iOS, Android, and web. As the team’s only senior designer, I set the framework and navigation patterns for the entire product, and mentored junior designers through delivery.
Tencent Video (Beijing, China)
Owned all interaction design for Tencent Video on iPad — one of China’s largest streaming platforms — working closely with visual designers from concept to release.
