Derick Tsang — Product Designer

I'm a senior product designer in Vancouver, most recently at Visier. I design enterprise tools where one screen serves several people: the analyst who builds a report, the executive who reads it, and the admin who controls who sees it. These users care whether the tool works, not how it looks, and a tool that works well is what I find beautiful. I also design charts and data visualizations, where every dataset is a new puzzle.

I start from first principles and design two answers: the direct one, and one that attacks the same problem from an odd angle. The second rarely ships, but it tells me whether the first is really the best. I sketch on paper, then prototype with AI tools so people can click through an idea early.

Outside work I read about cities: how they get planned, and why some streets work while others don't. I grew up speaking Cantonese, English, and Mandarin, I'm learning Japanese, and most of my travel is an excuse to walk around somewhere new.
