Meng is a product designer who helps early stage companies search for product / market fit.

Meng (her name rhymes with "tongue") helps clients develop their ambitious startup ideas to launch a product that solves real problems, and backed with a solid business strategy. From designing brand identity, wireframing, user flows, user testing, setting an A/B testing learning agenda, finding product/market fit, setting global product management and interview standards, and too many marketing/sales/fundraising decks to count, she’s worn many hats as a product designer to get the job done.

Meng has led product design and strategy at early and mid-stage startups in e-commerce, education, social media, travel, security, mobile payments, and dating—one of which appeared on Shark Tank. Meng was part of a 5-person UX special ops team during the 2014 TED Conference to help attendees bring ideas into action for speakers including Simon Sinek. She graduated as valedictorian from Parsons The New School for Design and hopes to one day make it on another game show with Snoop Dogg.
