Summary
Simon Sun is a technically-oriented product designer based in Seattle with a decade of experience blending engineering, UX, and research to deliver human-centered B2B and industrial products. He has led design and front-end development for complex systems—from hybrid and battery-electric mining vehicle dashboards at First Mode to AI features in Jama Software’s Connect platform—translating ambiguous technical problems into actionable product solutions. His background includes academic research on accessible design (ASSETS-nominated work) and hands-on prototyping using Figma, React, and service blueprints to drive measurable outcomes like emissions reduction. Comfortable in startup and enterprise contexts, he bridges design, data, and engineering to ship production-ready interfaces and internal tools.
