About
Michelle Chin
I’m a design leader with 20+ years of experience transforming complexity into clarity. From shaping UX strategy for a $2B portfolio at Oracle to leading design strategy for 250,000 employees at Disney, I thrive where enterprise scale meets human-centered simplicity.
As a first-generation college and master’s graduate, I bring a persistent, "figure-it-out" mindset to every challenge. I bridge the gap between high-level vision and hands-on craft, turning legacy systems into modern, intuitive experiences.
When I’m not leading design teams, I’m likely:
Launching a line of sustainable, aesthetic products for the modern pet.
Partnering with local rescues and TNR organizations—I’m a "cat mom" to any stray that finds my porch.
Firmly believing that tacocat is the peak of linguistic achievement.
