šš¼ I'm Peter Zhao š¦š»; I am a thinker, explorer, and visual communicator. I am dedicated to creating meaningful experiences, solving business problems, and bringing positive impacts to users. With over 8+ years of industry experience, I've transitioned from a craft-driven creator into a system thinker and problem solver. Iāve been able to apply my human-centered design philosophy to translate company visions into viable and pleasurable products. In my role, I led the strategy and design, took multiple products from 0 to 1, implemented design systems, led design teams, and worked with cross-functional teams to adopt UX best practices into scrum ceremonies. From an early age, I've had a deep yearning to understand the 'why' and 'how' of everything, and experiment with new ideas. Iām not one to shy away from the unfamiliar and never satisfied with ājust good enoughā. Iām always looking for new lessons to learn, new stories to hear, new dots to connect, and passing on that learning. Outside of work, Iām an enthusiast cinema photographer, die-hard techie, toys collector, and a huge proponent of new experiences through adventure.
