About
I am a product designer from the Bay Area with 10 years of experience designing products and building design culture.
I gravitate toward complex, ambiguous problems: the kind without an obvious starting point. As a deeply technical designer, my strength is partnering closely with engineers and other cross-functional partners. I'm fascinated by leveraging AI to improve the user experience and maximize efficiency where applicable. And I'm just as invested in nurturing the design culture and supporting other teammates.
Off the clock, I’m a part-time DJ and martial artist. Most weekends you’ll find me chasing down new restaurants with my wife, or taking long walks with her and our dogs along the San Francisco waterfront.
A decade spanning 3D animation, broadcast motion design, and product design — from Pixar to Meta.

Recommendations
I had the pleasure of working with An on the Campus team at Meta, where we partnered to build 0-to-1 products for employees and business partners. As a product designer, he is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and asks the right questions to fully understand the problem before jumping into solutions.
He is an excellent cross functional partner, collaborating well with product and engineering to bring ideas to life. He also embraced AI tools to rapidly iterate on designs, enabling the team to move quickly. His strong design craft, attention to detail, and ability to balance speed with thoughtful execution made him an invaluable teammate.
Beyond his technical skills, An is genuinely kind, collaborative, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend him to any team looking for a talented product designer and an outstanding cross functional partner.
I had the pleasure of working with An on the Workspace team at Meta, where he consistently brought a strong user-first mindset and exceptional attention to detail to everything he worked on.
An has a unique ability to bridge the gap between design and engineering. He was instrumental in advocating for users while ensuring our solutions remained practical and scalable. His thoughtful feedback, collaborative approach, and deep understanding of product experience helped our team deliver impactful internal tools that improved the day-to-day experience of Meta employees.
Beyond his design expertise, An is a fantastic teammate. He is proactive, approachable, and always willing to support others, making cross-functional collaboration effortless. Working with An was an enjoyable experience, and I have no doubt he will continue to make a meaningful impact wherever he goes.
I worked with Andy for several years at Meta, first as peers and later as his manager. Andy is a strong systems thinker with deep technical fluency, and that combination made him a natural bridge between design, engineering, and product.
He knew our design system inside and out and was my go-to person when I needed thorough design feedback. He worked well within its constraints, and when he spotted gaps, he raised them with concrete ideas for how to improve things. He’s at his best working in complex enterprise products, where the workflows are tangled and everything connects. He’s good at bringing order to that kind of complexity without losing the details.
Above all, Andy is a great collaborator: receptive, shares constructive feedback, and easy to work with. Any team that needs a systems-minded designer who partners well with engineering and product will be glad to have him.
