Patricia Chu
UX | Product Designer

I am a New York based designer who creates user experiences and design systems. As a design lead and manager, I work with cross functional, multidisciplinary and distributed teams. I believe design solutions come in many forms and sizes, ranging from micro-interactions to component features to mobile apps. Each is part of an ecosystem that enables us to design better experiences and products for our users.

Art and design has been part of my life since childhood. My father and older brothers were avid painters inspired from Chinese masters and Bob Ross alike. As a child, I vividly remember making Christmas trees from hangers and  plastic garment bags and glueing buttons of different sizes and colors to make multimedia paintings. Materials such as those were abundant since my  parents worked in garment factories.

I majored in art while attending LaGuardia HS, the “Fame” school. There, I was introduced to graphic design and photography which became my trade tools throughout my college years. I started my own side business building websites while at Cornell University…and here I am today, still doing what I love.

Outside of work I try to spend as much time as I can outdoors with my family. If I can have any special skills I would love to be able to fly like an eagle and swim like a dolphin.
