Simon Pan is a Product Designer based in San Francisco.
Many User Experience professionals are T‑shaped individuals who bring diverse backgrounds and a wealth of experience to the profession. Since there isn’t an obvious or natural path into the UX profession, I’m always curious and grateful to hear others' stories. This is my story.
Welcome to my brand spanking new website—realigned and redesigned. Since launching the very first version last year, I’ve been aching for the chance to do this. Oh, how I’ve laughed at my own design mistakes—stitches, ribbons, gradients, highlights, bevels, reflections, zig-zag circular badges, letterpress, skeuomorphism, circular script logotype, the list goes on. I’m embarassed and guilty of getting caught up with every kind of web trend and shamelessly combining them to er … effect.
