PORTFOLIO

XIAOAN CHENG

I have over 5 years of Content Design and UX Writing experience across companies at different levels of UX maturity – an agency, startup and FAANG. Combined with 7 years as a creative copywriter, I bring brands to life through digital products by utilising my skills in UX and creative strategy to solve user and business problems.

I particularly enjoy 0-1 projects that are strategic, complex and ambiguous in nature. Open to consultations, collaborations and interesting opportunities

My smorgasbord of experiences equipped me with the tools to develop my own processes and work independently. I’m experienced in working on 0-1 initiatives and iterative products.

My strengths lie in strategic systems-thinking, integrating brand with product, stakeholder management and collaboration.

I was also once an award-winning advertising creative. Creative portfolio available here.
