Stephen Suen
Product Designer
Currently taking a break. Open to conversations about what’s next in 2027.
I’m a product designer and software engineer based in Los Angeles. As a child of the early web, I make things that invite curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
In a previous life, I built data viz and interactive graphics for newsrooms. Outside of work, you can find me playing tabletop games or slurping up noodles.
