About me

Hi! I’m Vicky Song – Designing For the Lifestyle You Deserve

As a Product Designer with over 6 years of experience, I specialize in crafting user-centered design solutions that seamlessly integrate technology, business objectives, and human needs.

I’ve collaborated with leading brands like Verizon, Hilton, and The North Face, transforming in-depth research and Generative AI insights into actionable design practices. My work focuses on creating impactful, end-to-end solutions that drive innovation and enhance user experiences.

Being a multicultural designer is a core part of who I am. Originally from China, I studied abroad in Florence, Italy, during college and now live in the U.S. These diverse experiences allow me to approach life and design challenges from multiple perspectives. As a female designer, empathy is my superpower. It enables me to quickly capture users' emotions and pain points, translating them into meaningful design solutions.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about traveling and have visited over 30 countries across Asia, Europe, North America, and beyond. Traveling not only helps me recharge but also sparks new design inspiration by exposing me to diverse cultures and ideas.

My design philosophy is simple: Simple But Better — using design to make life easier and more enjoyable for everyone

My Values ✨

💛 Passion is Everything
Loving what I do gives me the drive and initiative to fully commit to what I believe in. I thrive on pursuing boundless creativity and collaborating with equally passionate people to make the world a happier, more inspiring place.

📒 Never Stop Learning
Learning fuels my creativity and drives innovation. Earning my MFA at SCAD in 2023 honed my design thinking and problem-solving skills, while participating in competitions like Red Dot, Muse, and IDA has pushed me to explore new ideas and approaches. These experiences have strengthened my ability to innovate and consistently deliver meaningful, impactful designs.

🗺️ Work-Life Balance
Life is about more than work. I believe that proper rest and exploration are vital for creativity. Traveling and immersing myself in different cultures have deepened my understanding of people and helped me design with a stronger, people-oriented approach.

😊 Be a Human Being
Empathy and kindness are at the heart of everything I do. Sharing knowledge, understanding different perspectives, and fostering inclusion and respect are values I hold dear. Being true to yourself and others is essential for building meaningful connections and creating impactful work.
