About me

Maker’s spark, curious mind. Designing to empower, ease, and delight.

With candor and fun, together we find friction fades. The journey feels right.

rodney

I’m a product designer in the Bay Area, California, passionate about creating clear and enjoyable digital experiences. My journey began with a childhood love for anime and sketching, leading me to graphic and interaction design, where creativity meets problem-solving.

At Goodnotes, I lead projects focused on collaboration and smart UX for digital note-taking, helping people work better together. Outside of design, I enjoy photography, capturing inspiration from vibrant colors to cozy coffee spots, and I love basketball and adventure, always seeking new experiences to spark my creativity.

My Design Principles

Good principles aren’t always easy, they sometimes mean giving up one thing to focus on what really matters. They help set the pace in my workflow and shape how I get things done.

Start with small win,keep iterating

Designers often thrive on grand concepts, but it's essential to embrace experimentation and maintain a mindset of starting small. By delivering high-quality work, we can ensure continuous progress in the right direction.

Design is about communication

Communication is the most important skillset in product design. This includes team facilitation, persuasive storytelling, and stakeholder management.

We build for users both new and old

It is essential that we not only develop products to meet the needs of our current users but also consider the user experience from both new and existing users. This approach will help us achieve a better balance for long-term success.
