Welcome! I'm Sharon Hsiao, a senior product designer, mentor, and friend dedicated to transforming your visions into innovative and impactful results.
Give me your design wishlist, and I'll make them a reality! Here are a few directions we can explore together:
I'm a multilingual designer armed with the perfect tools for the project.
I design products that fuse aesthetic with functionality and a dash of personality.
Made in Taiwan, cultivated in Canada. INFP. Lover of nature, photography, and the mystics.
With over 13 years of experience working in-house, freelance, and on contracts, I've had the pleasure of teaming up with startups to Fortune 500s, all driven by the shared mission of making the world a better place through design discipline.
It's like picking your favourite child, which I am not going to do. Instead, I'll share a few quotes that resonate with me:
"This world is made of people no smarter than you."
"Still water runs deep."
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
Each of these quotes carries its own wisdom and inspiration, reminding us of our potential and the power we hold to make a difference.
With a vast selection of over 3,000 emojis encompassing emotions, objects, animals, and beyond, it's no wonder they've become a staple of digital communication. Among the commonly used emojis such as 😊 (Smiling Face with Smiling Eyes), ❤️ (Red Heart), 🙌 (Raising Hands), 🎉 (Party Popper), and 🍕 (Pizza), my personal preference leans towards the 💛 (yellow heart) . To me, it symbolizes the inherent kindness and the heart of gold that I believe exists within each individual.
If I were to put up a giant billboard anywhere, I would proudly display the message "You are enough". It serves as a powerful reminder to everyone that their worth and value come from within, not from external measures. Emphasizing the importance of character and self-acceptance, this message seeks to uplift and empower individuals to embrace their inherent enoughness.
Ah, guilty pleasures, the sweet indulgences that make life a little more delightful and our wallets a little lighter. In my case, I have a not-so-secret addiction to collecting online courses. It's like a never-ending quest for knowledge, except my bank account used to sob uncontrollably. Thankfully, the rise of streaming services has saved me from bankruptcy and allowed me to indulge in a buffet of learning without breaking the bank. So, I'm a recovering course collector, learning to find balance between expanding my mind and keeping my wallet from staging a revolt.
If you add up all the time I spend on Spotify, Audible, and Kobo, I'm pretty sure it's 24 hours.
The winner goes to ... indoor plants! The green companions that bring joy, oxygen, and a touch of jungle-like adventure to any room! They're like tiny leafy superheroes, swooping in with their affordable prices and transforming dull spaces into lively botanical wonderlands. Plus, they're excellent listeners, so you can talk to them about your day without judgment. It's a win-win situation, really!
