About

The short version of a long career
in making complicated things make sense.

Amy Chen
Who I am

A creative with an
architect’s mind and
a socialite’s panache.

I started my career at a tech startup and quickly became the youngest person on their Product team. After a handful of years, I decided to move closer to design, and made a lateral shift to UX so that I could better advocate for the user experience.

A decade and a half into my career, the person behind the screen is still who I design and strategize for, but I’m also designing with — and for — AI. Because as the tech landscape evolves, so must we.

As a globetrotter with friends all over the world, I am happiest meeting and connecting with others. My idea of a good time is hosting a dinner party — I am also an accomplished chef!

When I’m not cooking or traveling, I’m writing. You can find that work on my Substack.

What I do

Research. Strategy.
UX. Content.
Team leadership.

Fifteen years of solving problems for a living across entertainment, finance, healthcare, tech, law, and big data.

The common thread isn’t the industry — it’s the mess.

The work starts with listening — the kind where you talk to forty people across an organization and realize the problem they hired you to solve isn’t the problem they have. The trick afterward is getting those forty people and a dozen other stakeholders to align on that problem.

I’m skillful with my craft, but even better with people. I build strong relationships based on trust to ensure a project’s success.

It’s not just what you do, but how you do it that matters.
