Jieting Tina Chen

Hi, I'm a product designer who combines creative chops, product strategy, and hands-on craft to help teams turn ambitious ideas into elegant experiences.

What I bring to the table

01

Product instinct & direction

I bring a strong sense of what matters and where to focus. I connect user needs with business goals, make thoughtful trade-offs, and help shape product direction — not just the experience in front of me.

02

From zero to scale

Having been an early design hire at two startups, I'm comfortable turning ambiguity into momentum. I can help establish the foundations of a product, create structure where it's needed, and evolve experiences as the business grows.

03

Systems thinking, hands-on making

I move comfortably between the big picture and the details. I enjoy untangling complex ecosystems and connecting the dots across experiences, while getting hands-on with prototypes and craft to bring ideas to life.

Shaping a provider platform from 0 to scale

I helped bring Ro's provider platform to life from 0→1, shaping the initial product vision through collaborative workshops, concept exploration, and early design. As the platform grew, I continued to influence product direction and roadmap, evolving the experience to support new care offerings, business models, and increasingly complex clinical workflows.

Bringing brand personality to experiences that convert and retain

I brought a strong creative and visual perspective to Bark's digital experiences, blending product design with graphic design, photography, and brand storytelling. Across ecommerce and customer journeys, I helped create engaging experiences that felt distinctly Bark while supporting business goals around conversion and retention.

Connecting the dots across the testing experience

I shaped the at-home testing experience across both patient and provider journeys, from ordering tests and understanding results to completing tests at home. One highlight was tackling low test completion rates: I helped uncover the underlying barriers, align the team around a path forward, and lead a redesign that brought us to our completion-rate goal.

Making data insights actionable through product design

I designed product experiences for Qubit's analytics and personalization platform, exploring new ways to visualize and communicate data insights in collaboration with the research team.

Designing a connected vaccination experience across a complex ecosystem

As lead designer, I created service design artifacts to bring multiple internal teams together around a cohesive vaccination experience, mapping the many touchpoints, systems, and handoffs involved. I then led the design of digital experiences for both patients and pharmacists, working with brand design to extend the experience into physical touchpoints like stickers and post-vaccination materials.

Bringing a playful product idea to life, from concept to launch

I helped bring BarkCam from an early concept to a fully launched product, shaping everything from the initial experience and UX/UI to custom sticker illustrations and animations. I also extended the experience beyond the app, designing its promotional website and launch assets to create a cohesive, playful brand experience from product to marketing.

Adding a playful digital layer to a retail experience

I designed a companion app for BarkShop Live, bringing a playful digital layer to an interactive retail experience for dogs and their humans. As dogs played with different toys, the app sent funny, toy-inspired messages to their owners, turning those moments into shareable experiences and helping connect playtime with purchase.

Building a home on wheels

A camper van converted from an empty cargo shell during the pandemic. My partner and I combined our interests in design, engineering, and building to create a functional living space, drawing on interior design, ergonomics, and material exploration. We designed and built custom modular furniture, integrated storage, and a custom off-grid system with microcontrollers, turning an empty van into a home away from home on wheels.
