Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m Shiuan-De (Sander) Chen, a seasoned UX\/product designer based in Seattle with a proven track record of leading three successful software startups from concept to market. My design journey began at a Fortune 500 tech company in my company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continually enhance my interdisciplinary expertise, having earned an EMBA from Aalto University and developed the Xtraspots App as a UI engineer using SwiftUI and JavaScript. I’m particularly excited about the convergence of AI and design, and I am dedicated to expanding my horizons and contributing my skills to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a digital designer\/artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a strong sense of empathy cultivated since childhood, I love seeing people with happy smiles. As a designer, I can deliver those smiles through my work. I strive to bring happiness to users with intuitive, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing design products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile, and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently I am a designer at Xtraspots, I am dedicated to providing an improved end-to-end parking experience. I believe Xtraspots’ unique Airbnb-like business model can solve the hassle of parking, especially in big cities. By connecting drivers with available parking spaces seamlessly, we not only reduce the stress of finding parking but also optimize the use of existing space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My focus is on creating an intuitive and efficient user interface that ensures a smooth and pleasant experience for all users, making city living more convenient and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What\u2019s your favorite kind of digital design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I value design that seamlessly blends business, minimalist, and functionality to solve problems effectively. Design is not art; design needs to solve people’s problems to achieve goals. Design must eliminate the superfluous and retain only what users truly need while providing robust functionality to meet their operational and usage requirements. Ultimately, design must be profitable to create a flywheel effect for product iteration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. To you, what makes a \u201cgood\u201d design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my design philosophy, design is fundamentally about solving problems. However, good design goes beyond mere problem-solving; it must also tell a compelling story and generate revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good design visually connects people to scenarios that help them achieve their goals, thereby encouraging user engagement and willingness to pay. Furthermore, good design should listen to user feedback to continuously improve the product. Happy design leads to happy customers, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
