Bowen Shen is an expert currently working as a Product Designer in New York. With creative experience spanning multiple countries and various expertise, and a love for visual arts, Bowen Shen’s career path shifted to digital design after discovering an interest in coding during her undergraduate years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hello, I\u2019m Bowen Shen. I design, doodle, and code. Currently, I work as a Product Designer at an online banking product company in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My creative journey spans multiple disciplines and countries, having lived in China, Australia, and now the United States. Along the way, I’ve explored various roles\u2014artist, illustrator, graphic designer, and creative developer\u2014before finding my niche as a Product Designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It honestly didn\u2019t feel like a deliberate choice for me. When I was in kindergarten, I would draw, and the grown-ups would praise me, making me believe this is where my talent lies. I just kept following that path and have rarely doubted that my future profession would involve being creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In graduate school, I majored in “Interaction Design,” which focuses on creating intuitive digital experiences. Currently, I apply these skills in a very practical way by designing interfaces for mobile apps and websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work beyond the visual aspects. Designers like me need to understand user needs, business goals, engineering limitations, and the product’s historical performance, etc. We translate all these requirements and constraints into the final user experience through numerous iterations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design means being creative while also being open to feedback and collaboration. Unlike independent art, which can be more self-focused and capricious, design serves a practical purpose that often impacts a large audience. It’s an art to find the balance between creativity and functionality, ensuring that the end result meets both individual and collective needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
