Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolQueenie Wu is a Senior Product Designer based in New York with eight years of interdisciplinary experience blending product design, research, and systems thinking across education, commerce, and civic tech. At Handshake she has driven growth and retention for millions of students, pairing deep user empathy—so strong she returned to school herself—with measurable product outcomes. Her background spans complex geospatial visualization at Palantir, trust and compliance work at Shopify, and incubator fellowship experience at NEW INC and the Steve Jobs Archive, reflecting a practice rooted in liberal arts and technology. Trained as a systems design engineer and holding an MFA-equivalent in Interactive Media Arts from NYU, she maps sociology and cartography into interface decisions that scale human connection. She codes as much as she designs, bringing a pragmatic maker’s mindset to prototyping and design systems. Quietly ambitious and curious, she also harbors an astronaut-sized appetite for big questions and far-reaching impact.
