Lisa Hinegardner
Product Design Lead @Meta
Jingwen is one of my favorite people to work with. She’s inventive, collaborative and pays attention to every detail. Jingwen loves new challenges and always comes up with unique approaches that are beautifully executed. Beyond her great work, she’s a joy to spend time with. I would always choose to work with her given the chance.


Joey Lea
Sr. Software Engineer @Netflix
Jingwen is a rockstar. When she joined our team at Amazon, she quickly became the go-to person for design, animation, and UI expertise. Her ability to communicate and create impactful designs sets her apart from the rest. I was always eager to work with her because she loved to push the boundaries of what is possible through design, iconography, and motion. Her attention to detail, ability to delight customers, and innate design-sense is first class. She is also a pleasure to collaborate with. I strongly recommend Jingwen – she is truly an asset to any team.


Jordan Metzner
Founder & Partner @Ryz Labs
Jingwen is one the most talented designers, I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is a full-stack designer who can take on Wireframes, Hi-Fidelity Mocks, Illustration, and Animations. She always thinks about the customer and uses research and sentiment analysis to create her designs. She is a huge player on any team and you want her on your team, designing your product. Jingwen is simply the best!
