About Me
Hi, I'm Cynthia! 👋
I'm a multi-disciplinary product designer with 6 years of experience designing digital and physical products across robotics and complex enterprise systems. I'm currently at Temper And Forge, where I lead the design of an AI-powered B2B SaaS API platform for a stealth-mode startup. Before that, I worked at Meta (via Beyondsoft), designing the digital and physical interfaces for autonomous robots operating in data centers.
I love building products from the ground up, from understanding users and defining the “why” to shaping solutions that align with real needs and the broader market landscape. I bring a thoughtful, end-to-end perspective that blends systems thinking, user advocacy, and technical feasibility.
Design Philosophy
My work centers on crafting meaningful experiences that improve usability, build trust, and drive measurable business outcomes. At the core of my approach is an open mindset grounded in empathy, collaboration, and curiosity.
Outside of Design 🌱
I’ve developed a deep love for plants and now care for a collection of more than 60. I enjoy going to local plant events, connecting with other plant enthusiasts, and occasionally selling plants. Recently, I’ve adopted a Marie Kondo-inspired mindset. The collection is still big, but now it’s filled with only the ones that truly spark joy.
