Hi, my name is Ciro (Phonetically, ‘Sai-roh’), originally from Ürumqi, Xinjiang, China. I’m a product designer living in Berlin, passionate about crafting easy-to-use experience to make people’s life better. I'm currently at Notigo.ai, designing experiences around utilising AI to summarise meeting note in real time.
I previously worked at Oaks, where I designed experiences and interfaces to help lots of people achieving their saving goals. As a solo designer in the team, I looked after every design related tasks, honing my stakeholder managing and prioritisation skills.
As a product designer, I’m a strong advocate for user-centric design, I bring a creative approach to my work, using data-driven insights from research to guide informed design decisions. I love the Atomic Design way of thinking that look at interface design as both a cohesive whole and a collection of parts at the same time.
Besides work, I love music in all capacities. I like spending my time practicing instruments, watching concert and writing song tracks. I think a lot about vintage asian woodwork, those precise and elegant mortise-tenon connection. I have an imaginary dog called Bob🐕.
