Hey, I’m Cindy!

I'm a Seattle-based product designer, having previously shaped the Edge browser for enterprise at Microsoft where I designed for millions of people. Before that, I was a designer at Franklin, where I launched tools that helped Web3 companies pay teams in both USD and cryptocurrencies.

I began my career in interior architecture, from working in healthcare to designing workspaces at MillerKnoll. While I loved crafting physical experiences, I wanted to solve problems beyond walls and ceilings.

At the core, I care about building things that make people's lives easier, more delightful, and connected. I thrive in collaborative, low-ego teams where curiosity and great ideas lead the way. Come say hello!

Don’t just take my word for it. The hype continues on LinkedIn.

  • “Cindy worked on my team for several years as a UX designer. In that time I found her to be smart, creative, engaged, energetic and a great team player. I also appreciated that she brought an interesting perspective from her former career in a totally different branch of design (workplace interiors). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cindy for another position.”

  • “Cindy Tsai brings so much talent to a team and is a dream employee as an individual contributor. She is a very dedicated employee, empathetic to those around her and an asset to any team. Cindy works well with both internal and external clients as she develops designs that solve for workplace opportunities. Having had the pleasure to work with her, I can confidently recommend her as an excellent designer and teammate.”

  • “Can you personalize a product for 600 million users, using only an icon button? Cindy's end-to-end delivery of the Smart Switch for Microsoft Edge Business elevates the product experience with elegance, precision and empathy. Leveraging micro interactions for macro impact is an art form that engages with code, business and brand, simultaneously.”
