Who am I?

Say hi!

I'm Christine Dang, a Product Designer

I use psychology insights to make complex digital products easier to understand and trust.

Resume

… I’m also a writer, fitness instructor, (amateur) dancer, bibliophile, flâneuse, ornithophile, (controlled) chocoholic, and gamer.

Designer focused on product strategy and UX/UI Design. Endlessly curious about how people think.

I'm a Product Designer with 5 years of experience leading product strategy and UX/UI design for cross-platform enterprise products in healthcare, the public sector, and media.

With a solid foundation in experiential design and psychology, I integrate behavioural science into the design process. I help teams bridge product gaps to create digital experiences that align with how people think and what businesses want.

Designer focused on product strategy and UX/UI Design. Endlessly curious about how people think.

Over my career, I've led product strategy and UX/UI design for startups and major organizations, including Canada's largest hospitals, Ontario Health, and Digital Ontario, improving service access, data privacy, and identity management workflows. Most notably, I shipped Canada's first government-approved Type 1 Diabetes research app, where applying behavioural science directly to the consent experience boosted parent confidence in sharing health data by 80% and cut task time by 70%.

In a past life, before designing digital experiences, I designed real-world ones. As part of a small team working on experiential design and marketing, I helped create Canada’s first interactive, story-driven escape room experiences for clients like Casa Loma and Nintendo. You learn a surprising amount about designing experiences that help people feel like the hero in a larger story, especially when they’re confused, stuck, or about to give up.

In 2023, I made a deliberate decision to step back from full-time tech. I was burned out, and I knew that pushing through would produce worse work and a worse version of me. So I didn't.

I spent two years coaching women in group fitness, giving me access to something most product designers don't have: direct, sustained experience with how people build trust and change behaviour in vulnerable settings. I also stayed active as a freelance UX consultant, completed an AI design workshop covering generative AI tools, and co-founded a foundation exploring technology for social good.

Using psychology-driven design to bring a human touch to an increasingly AI-driven world.

I'm back, sharper about what good work looks like and clearer about where I want to do it. I'm looking for a Product Designer role on a remote/hybrid Toronto team, ideally in Health & Fitness Tech, EdTech, or the Creator Economy, where I can lead product strategy, shape UX/UI, and contribute to a strong design culture.
