Hi, I'm Kevin Su

My Industrial Engineering training at Taipei Tech, paired with factory internships, gave me a habit of thinking: break the process apart → find the bottleneck → improve the system. While studying ways to make manufacturing more efficient, I got pulled in by the question of how people interact with information interfaces. After graduation I went to Northeastern University in Boston for an MSc in Digital Media, majoring in Interaction Design — carrying that process-optimization mindset into how I'd later design digital products.

Back in Taipei, I joined an info-services startup and took over a woodball tournament management system that was only 25% complete. From rebuilding the design system to leading new features straight onto live courts, I shipped it. In parallel I led an AI cybersecurity advisory platform — gradually growing the skills outside of pure design: cross-functional, cross-project coordination.

The shift into project management

To carry multiple existing product designs while writing proposals for new ones, I worked closely with teammates and leads to coordinate a workable dev flow. A year into my designer role, I was promoted to project manager — formally owning planning and scheduling, and gaining far more direct contact with clients on requirements.

My design background lets me unpack client needs in a modular way rather than collapsing them too early: I define short, mid, and long-term goals so the full picture stays on the table while the dev team still has a sensible timeline. Tooling matters too — I started introducing Notion dev logs, SOP templates, and proposal scaffolds into my workflow, which materially raised how efficiently the team operates and communicates.
