About Giang
I’m a product designer with a background in Visual Communication from Arizona State University. I started in branding and marketing, shaped by Swiss design principles, and now focus on building clear, scalable product experiences. I’ve led design across fintech, health, education, real estate, and supply chain, simplifying complex systems into intuitive tools that teams rely on and users actually enjoy.
I’m known for moving fast without losing craft. I use AI to quickly bring ideas to life, getting strong prototypes in front of stakeholders early to drive alignment and momentum. I’m comfortable in ambiguity and focused on outcomes:
Design that is simple, beautiful, and usable.

01 Fintech
I’ve spent several years working with American Express Global Risk Technology, designing systems that support both internal teams and customer-facing experiences.
Across this work, I’ve led and contributed to 20+ applications, helping teams manage risk, improve decision-making, and streamline complex financial operations.
What I’ve done:
- Designed and shipped internal tools and customer-facing products
- Helped define and build a rules engine for risk and decisioning systems
- Partnered closely with business stakeholders to align on strategy and outcomes
- Worked alongside engineering teams to bring products from concept to production
- Simplified complex financial workflows into clear, usable systems
Platform for Product Delivery
& Roadmap Alignment
Overview
Designed an enterprise platform to help teams measure and improve delivery across timelines, quality, and cost. The goal was to create a system that brings visibility into execution, enabling teams and leadership to make more informed decisions at scale.
Role: Product Design Lead
Scope
- End-to-end design of a complex product platform
- Internal tools and external marketing site (landing experience)

- Successfully introduced the platform to multiple pilot teams
- Established a foundation for organization-wide rollout
AMEX GRT Product Ecosystem
Overview
At American Express Global Risk Technology, I worked across a suite of interconnected products designed to support risk, data, and operational workflows at scale.
Rather than treating each tool in isolation, the goal was to create a cohesive system of products, each with its own purpose, but unified through a shared design language and experience.
Role: Product Design Lead
Scope
- Designed 10+ products across the ecosystem
- Defined product identities and visual systems for each platform
- Ensured consistency through a shared design foundation
- Collaborated with stakeholders and engineering to bring products to production

Built for leadership, these dashboards give VPs a real-time snapshot of product performance across the organization, making it easy to track progress, identify risks, and make decisions with confidence.
Additional Fintech Experience
02 AI Systems
At my current position, I lead the design of a unified AI platform that brings together workflows, agents, models, and infrastructure into one system. The goal is to simplify how teams build, deploy, and monitor AI solutions at scale, while establishing a consistent design language across complex, technical surfaces.
The challenge is balancing complexity with clarity, making advanced concepts like agents, pipelines, and observability feel intuitive. I focus on clear information hierarchy, reusable patterns, and a scalable design system, enabling teams to move faster with greater visibility and control.
What I’ve done:
- Led design of a unified AI platform, centralizing workflows, agents, models, and infrastructure
- Consolidated fragmented tools into a cohesive system, improving clarity and operational efficiency
- Established a scalable design system and language to accelerate speed to market
- Defined the experience for complex AI workflows, translating technical systems into intuitive, usable products
Core Product Experience
Role: Product Design Lead
Impact & Outcomes
- Unified fragmented AI tools into a single platform across teams
- Improved visibility into system performance, usage, and cost
- Accelerated time to build and deploy AI workflows
- Enabled both technical and non-technical users to operate complex systems
- Established a foundation for scalable AI product development
03 Design
Systems & Scale
I design scalable design systems that unify products and accelerate how teams build. Across complex enterprise platforms, I establish consistent patterns, reusable components, and a shared design language that brings clarity to fragmented experiences.
The focus is on creating systems that balance flexibility with structure while supporting multiple products, teams, and use cases while maintaining consistency.
By standardizing interaction patterns and visual foundations, I help reduce design debt and enable faster, more reliable product development.
What I’ve done:
- Built and scaled design systems across multiple products and teams
- Defined a cohesive design language for complex, enterprise platforms
- Created reusable components and patterns to improve consistency
- Reduced design and development overhead through standardization
- Enabled faster delivery and scalability across product ecosystems

WCAG 2.2 AA
Principle 01
Clarity Above All
Every element serves a purpose. We eliminate ambiguity through clear visual hierarchy, intuitive navigation, and straightforward communication. Users should never have to guess what happens next.
Use clear, concise language that speaks directly to users
Establish strong visual hierarchy with typography and spacing
Provide immediate feedback for all user actions
Remove unnecessary complexity and cognitive load
View Example
Clear Action
Primary actions are visually prominent with clear labels and expected outcomes.

Principle 02
Consistency Breeds Trust
Predictable patterns reduce cognitive load and build user confidence. When interactions behave the same way across the platform, users can focus on their goals rather than learning new patterns.
Maintain consistent component behavior across all contexts
Establish strong visual hierarchy with typography and spacing
Provide immediate feedback for all user actions
Remove unnecessary complexity and cognitive load

04 Product
Development
Over the past year, I worked on a freelance engagement designing a community-driven platform for small business owners, bringing together education, resources, funding opportunities, and peer connections into a single, unified experience.
The goal was to simplify how entrepreneurs discover support, learn, and grow, while creating a clear and approachable product across multiple service areas.
The challenge was organizing diverse content, courses, grants, events, and community features into something intuitive and actionable. I focused on strong onboarding, clear information hierarchy, and guided pathways that help users quickly find value and stay engaged over time.
What I’ve done:
- Designed an end-to-end platform experience, from onboarding to ongoing engagement
- Structured key product areas including learning, grants, events, and community
- Simplified access to resources through clear navigation and dashboard design
- Established a scalable design system to support future growth
- Improved discoverability and engagement through guided user flows
This platform provides entrepreneurs with a centralized hub to learn, connect, and access opportunities, reducing friction and increasing engagement across the ecosystem.

05 Explorations
Outside of product work, I explore design through packaging, restaurant menus, and editorial pieces, often collaborating with friends and local businesses.
Requinto / Branding + Menu Design + Social Media Support
Requinto is a Phoenix-based pop-up run by my good friend and chef Erick Pineda, focused on Guerrero-style Mexican food. As the concept grew, I supported the team with design across key touch points including logo design and menu design. As the popularity of Erick’s pop-up grew, I continued to help support and shape a cohesive and recognizable visual identity.

It’s my first time designing for Lunar New Year, and a chance to reconnect with my roots, translating familiar symbols, food, and florals into a more modern, expressive visual style. This project is designed under a Vietnam-based agency called, BiYou Creative.
