My name is Che Wei—you can also call me Jacky. Taiwanese-born, New York-based, and obsessed with crafting seamless digital experiences. As a product designer bridging the gap between design and code, I turn ideas into intuitive, delightful products. Let's build something great together.
I'm currently leading the design team, shaping world-class training experiences for endurance athletes at Wahoo Fitness.
Before Wahoo, I designed a geospatial data management platform at Koordinates, leading the design system and process for their web application. My work played a key role in securing government contracts, including Land Information New Zealand and Stats NZ, which adopted Koordinates as their official data portal.
Before Koordinates, I designed retail point-of-sale experiences at Vend by Lightspeed, collaborating closely with developers to deliver high-quality releases. I also contributed to prototyping and user testing to refine and enhance the user experience.
In my spare time, I'm out cycling on Strava, taking way too many pictures of my daughter on Instagram, or gaming on Xbox.
