Summary
Kristel Teng is a San Francisco–based Frontend Developer and UX-minded designer with 11 years of experience and a 9+ year focus on web UI that blends visual design with robust front-end engineering. She has shipped consumer-facing features at scale—from PLANOLY’s post customization and user-tagging systems to e-commerce and branding work for Medley Cuisine—using a spectrum of tools including TypeScript, React-era tooling, Node, and design suites. Comfortable across product design, prototyping, and front-end architecture, Kristel repeatedly bridges design and engineering to make interfaces more accessible and inclusive. Her background includes open source contributions at Mozilla (automated docs and build tooling UX) and leadership on UX and A/B testing efforts, and she’s known for pairing a designer’s eye with pragmatic engineering decisions. She drinks a lot of hot tea while translating complex flows into welcoming, user-first experiences.
