About me

Hello, I am Meng.

I am a product designer at N26 in Berlin. I enjoy solving challenging problems and helping people take control of their finances with peace of mind. Before moving to Berlin, I worked in a property portal startup as a product designer in Dubai helping home hunters to find their next dream places.  

I have a master degree in human-computer interaction design from City, University of London and hold a bachelor of Business Administration in Taiwan. I started my career in digital marketing which put a lot of emphasis on business strategy, consumer insights and performance metrics. Later on I transfer those skills that connected to product design which helps me to better connecting business goals to user needs.

I love to study lots of different people and work with a team from a variety of background make my job extremely fun. I enjoy learning new things, always get energy from being busy and active!

Communicate with engineers to coordinate the implementation of designs. Keep measuring & learning for value capture

  • Define deliverables and prioritisation
  • Cross-team alignment
