Hello! I’m Cici, a self-taught, full-stack product designer based in Chicago. I’m a nerd for all things design, from the big picture system all the way down to the pixel, and I excel at finding clarity in the ambiguous.
When I’m not up to my eyeballs in Figma files, you can catch me scouting out the hottest new restaurant openings, framing a shot during golden hour, or trying to perfect a swing-out. Like to know more? Pop me an email at Cecilia.xie17@gmail.com, I’d love to chat!
I began my design career at Allstate as a UX architect, specializing in interaction design and information hierarchy.
Shortly after, I left to immerse myself in product design at a cozy SaaS marketing company as a full-stack designer. I handled everything from digging into user research to polishing up final visual touches, leaving my mark not just on designs but also on the culture and design system. As a lead designer, I made crucial decisions within a Product Triad, specializing in complex challenges like data visualization in agile environments or how to integrate AI into our design principles.
Now, as a Product Design Consultant, I thrive on navigating ambiguity daily. Clients rely on my tech and design expertise, where I craft customized processes for each project, from inception to execution.
