👋 Hi there! I'm Z.J. (Zijie) Zhou
Around 2 years of professional experience at TikTok/ByteDance ↗, Johnson Controls ↗, and startups
BFA in Human-Computer Interaction at California College of the Arts(2023)↗
A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
I am a product designer with experience in E-commerce, Fintech, and Infrastructure, turning data + intuition into measurable product growth.
At TikTok, I optimized TikTok Shop's insurance experience for 5 countries across SEA(PH, ID, MY, TH) & US. By auditing UX gaps that affected Gross Written Premium (GWP) and Net Promoter Score (NPS), I proposed design improvements to reduce drop-offs and increase adoption.
At Johnson Controls, I co-developed the Global Element Design System, adopted by 34 design and 2 engineering teams worldwide. This system cut component creation time by 42%, improved design token efficiency by 65%, reduced design maintenance by 62%, and generated over $1M in annual efficiency gains.
My journey combines creativity with data-driven insights to deliver designs that improve usability, consistency, and business outcomes at scale. I eagerly anticipate applying my skills to design solutions with a lasting positive impact.
Thank you for stopping by! 🎉
And a bunch of other companies that aren't as commonly known but have all been worthwhile endeavors.
