As a designer

Vivi Shin has such a bright future ahead of her. She is one of the most impressive product thinkers I’ve ever encountered for someone so early in their design journey.

During our first chats and interviews I was astounded by the way she thinks about product and user behavior and designing solutions accordingly.

Vivi is also one of the most well loved across the team and diligent designers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Her strong work ethic paired with a constant focus on growing her skillset, practice and process makes her an undoubted asset to any team.
Nick Humphreys, Co-Founder & CCO @ Linktree
I've worked closely with Vivi at Prospa for a period of 7 months. During that time Vivi has been responsible for designing our mobile app experience.

She was very quick to come up to speed with what we'd delivered so far and what we were hoping to achieve. She developed strong relationships with peers as well as Product and Engineering teams from the outset.

Her designs are always well thought out and of high quality, working collaboratively within her cross-functional team Vivi has been a real asset and I hope I get to work with her again in the future.
Jake Causby, Head of UX & UI @ Macquarie Bank
Vivi brought her curiosity, intuition and eagerness to learn which saw her produce a high quality of work that considered both customer and business.

She always took the time to understand the problems that were needing to be solved which informed how she creatively crafted experiences and product.

Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Vivi will be extremely fortunate to collaborate and learn from her ability to think deeply, yet solve creatively with impact.
Vanessa Loh, Product design manager @Linktree
Vivi has done awesome work on several projects for Qeexo, including most notably helping to design the UI for our flagship product, Qeexo AutoML, as well as overthrowing the entire design of our company website to bring in a new look-and-feel.

We really love her simple and clean art style as well as her in-depth knowledge of web and user flows. (At first, we selected her out of many other designers based on her portfolio.)

Vivi is easy to work with, flexible, and takes feedback very well. She is always able to accommodate our requests, and is fast/productive besides. ...More

As a mentor

Vivi is the most knowledgeable and empathetic mentor that I’ve ever met. She provided me with practical insights and guidance based on her experiences, which helped me a lot to land a Product Designer role.

After the mentorship service, I was able to get three offers as a freelancer, full-timer and part-timer. She is like my life-saver.

I had been struggling a lot but I’m now so excited to continue developing my career as a Product Designer. I highly recommend the mentorship service with her. You wouldn’t regret it.
Sooyang Park 🇬🇧, Product designer
Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for having such an inspiring mentor like her. Since I decided to pursue a new career, I had many questions and felt confused.

Despite searching and reaching out to others and communities for help, I felt like something was missing. I was looking for a mentor who had already walked the path that I wanted to take, and I found her on YouTube by chance. After watching her interview, I knew that she was the exact person I was looking for. I read all the articles she wrote on Brunch... More

Vivi knows a lot of useful information about finding a job as a UX designer abroad, and gives useful advice according to mentee's situations.

It helped me even more to get additional information through her social media and blog posts about UX jobs and receive mentoring from Vivi.

Based on her mentoring, I would like to find experiences to gain more practical experience. I hope to continue a good mentoring relationship in the future :] Thank you.

It was so lovely to have a chat with Vivi, she gave me an opportunity to ask plenty of questions to clarify what's the most important thing that I wanted to take away from the mentoring session.

I appreciate the time and effort that Vivi took to go through my portfolio and provided insightful feedback.

I feel way more confident in my ability to revise the portfolio and looking forward to applying her advice. Thanks again for your time!
