Ola!
I'm Michael Ji, a product designer. I worked at SmartNews, Brex, Facebook (Meta now) and Google before.
I think and design beyond the existing rules. Besides, I always devote myself to building stronger teams and mentoring others as I believe those are keys of success.
I've also been interested in driving, dining and photographing all for all those perfect moments.
