Victor Fong
Senior Product Design Partner for Startups and Growing Teams
11 yrs experience · Los Angeles, CA · 30-40 hrs/week
About
I partner with teams as an embedded senior product designer, working directly within their workflows and collaborating closely with product and engineering to move from ambiguity to shipped, polished product. With over a decade of experience across streaming, media, and SaaS, including large-scale consumer platforms and complex internal tools, I've helped teams improve usability, engagement, and measurable business outcomes. I'm comfortable leading design decisions when needed, and just as comfortable collaborating within an existing product vision when that's the right fit.
