ColorOS is a customized system developed by OPPO, based on Android, it updates every year following Android release.

When OnePlus merged into OPPO in 2022, I moved to Shenzhen,
and transition into a new role. OPPO’s software design department has divided into three big design teams-feature design team;platform design team & user research team. Feature design team looks after ColorOS software design experience. Inside it, there were three groups work on different features. I was responsible for core experience and privacy design group.

Collective Wisdom - Design critique

I set up a design critique process called Collective Wisdom. We want to create a healthy and encouraging vibe to critique sessions.


We also create a Framework intends to evaluation product design and experience systematically, combining designer self-check, collective wisdom (group review) and user testing/interview. The goal is to ensure design quality at all product development stage and decision check point.
