Jing Jin is a Design Leader (UX Design) who creates solutions for users at an online tech startup and education platform. As the design manager at Outschool, she helps imagine the design and functionality that creates the entire user's experience, from start to finish. Jing began as the only one on the team and has seen the company through 10x growth. She now leads a design team of 6, which includes: product designers (UX designers), visual designers (UI designers), experience designers, and tech writers (UX writers.) Together, they ask, “What do users need?” and imagine the design and function of that solution. They collaborates with engineers to build it and make it work. Next, Jing and her team analyze the solution to see if the user’s experience actually matched the intended outcome. Then, they take those results and refine the user experience. It's an ongoing, iterative process.Product designers have a huge variety of backgrounds and education -- from customer service to rocket scientist! Jing's education is in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and she has been an engineer, designer, and product manager. She has had a wide depth and breadth of career opportunities. She started at Apple, helped 12 companies build successful products, created a multi-platform system that is used by 4,000+ schools, and now is helping over 1 million learners in 183 countries worldwide.Resources:AIGA (the professional association for design)alistapart.comIDEOBoot Camps:General AssemblyDesign LabContact Info:Jing Jin - GuestLinkedInJulie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Send Julie a text!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.
