Hi, I'm Cindy!

I'm a designer and researcher based in New York.

I’m a lifelong explorer, learner, and listener. I’m excited about creating experiences that hit the sweet spot of meaningful, beautiful, and thoughtful. I'm currently a product design manager at Johnson & Johnson's MedTech Digital department.

At various points in my life, I have been:

• a senior UX designer at Accenture Song
• a design lead at Niantic
• a two-time Jeopardy! contestant
• a research and design lead for the US Digital Response
• a senior UX designer at Wondersauce
• a UX designer at teamLab
• a strategist / designer at Google
• a master's student in product design at Stanford University
• an undergrad in industrial engineering at Columbia University

Fun facts: I’ve visited over 60 countries, all 50 states, and half of the beautiful national parks in the US. I collect Japanese Kit-Kat flavors -- or more like I eat them before I collect them. I have completed the New York Times crossword every day for the past 4 years. I love pretzels. Ken Jennings once gave me an award for the Best Signature on Jeopardy!.

I'd love to learn more about you! Drop me a line sometime.

My resume is here. You can email me at me@cindyzhang.net.
