About

A bit about me

I'm Zian Meng — a product manager and product designer based in New York. I work across research, strategy, interaction design, and delivery, with the technical fluency to prototype ideas and partner deeply with engineering. I'm also a photographer who's shot campaigns for brands like JBL.

When I'm not shipping products, you'll find me behind a camera lens, chasing light and experimenting with film. That restless curiosity is why I build — I'm drawn to problems worth solving and products I actually care about using myself.
