From USMC to UX

Hi! My name is Jon Chin and a Senior Product Designer at Zoom. Ten years ago, I was an awkward former Marine officer and confused MBA student before I accidentally discovered UX design with the help of an engineer (really).

A 90/100 stack designer, I have deep knowledge in user research, data analysis, and product go-to-market strategy. Connecting and collaborating with engineers and the business is my design superpower.

My guiding design principle is to create practical and useful experiences for people so they have one less thing to stress about in life. My professional interests are creating effective product teams, and mentoring early-career designers.

Outside of the UX world, I can be found coaching high school football, performing in local theater, or volunteering at the local library or animal rescue.
