About
I'm Zian Meng — a product designer and builder based in New York. I've spent years at the intersection of technology and design, consulting for companies on automation and digital transformation, while pouring my creative energy into apps and experiences that feel human. I'm also a photographer who's shot campaigns for brands like JBL.
When I'm not shipping products, you'll find me behind a camera lens, chasing light and experimenting with film. That restless curiosity is why I build — I'm drawn to problems worth solving and products I actually care about using myself.
