A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Emily Hong, a product designer based in Toronto. My passion for technology and how it can improve people's lives is what drew me to product design. I love creating digital experiences that are not only functional but also enjoyable to use. For me, great design is about solving real problems and making a positive impact, and I’m always eager to take on new challenges, whether at work or in life.

When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me hanging out with my mini schnoodle, Chilli. Lately, I’ve also been into morning HIIT workouts at F45—a fun and energizing way to kick off the day!

Experience

Senior Product Designer • 2023 - Current

At Pine, I partnered with Wealthsimple on a tiered cashback promotion, driving a fourfold increase in leads. I also designed a new dashboard that improved task completion rates by 30% and simplified the Fulfillment workflow using AI, boosting productivity.

Product Designer • 2021 - 2023

At VTS, I streamlined the content creation process through user research, reducing complaints by 80% and cutting task time. I also maintained the design system and built a tenant CRUD feature, improving efficiency by 71%.
