I'm Allen Xu. I design digital and conversational products and mentor individuals.
I'm currently a Senior Product Designer at Experian. Before that, I worked on features people love for Priceline, Jet.com, and more.
I apply critical thinking throughout the problem-solving process. For example, refine UX requirements by leveraging qualitative data to understand users' intentions, behaviors, and pain points. And with quantitative data to make design recommendations for testing.
Outside work, I enjoy working out, meditating, and spending time with my family and our cats.
In 2013, my curiosity 🧐 in human psychology had found its perfect match with my passion – Product Design.
Currently, I'm having fun designing at Experian. Before that, I had worked on features that people ❤️ for Priceline, Jet.com, and more.

Outside of work, I enjoy learning new skills 🧑🏻💻, exploring different ways of thinking 🤔, and spending time with my family and our cats, Jiji and Luna. 🐈⬛
