I first encountered and purchased cryptocurrency in 2014. In the past three years, I have actively participated in crypto industry activities, joined multiple stablecoin airdrops (Usual, Falcon, Ethena, Neutrl, etc.), engaged in numerous OKX spot and futures trading events, and developed my own API trading tools. Since entering the cryptocurrency industry, I have been a loyal user of OKX Wallet, and the user experience of OKX Wallet remains unmatched to this day.

Q&A
Why do I want to work for OKX?
As a designer, OKX's visual style stands out in the cryptocurrency field, making it one of the best companies in terms of UI and interaction.
OKX is an industry leader with many pioneering efforts and a very broad product line. As a designer, you need to have a deep understanding of the business to create good product designs. Since there are many connections between different business areas, a global perspective is essential. I enjoy such challenges.
Remote work is my ideal lifestyle. I have been working remotely for the past six years and have become proficient in asynchronous communication skills. I have collaborated with distributed teams across time zones, and also served overseas clients on SaaS and AI products.
Why do I want to work in this role at OKX?
The crypto industry is a field I've always wanted to explore, and I'm full of curiosity about it.
With my growing understanding of the crypto industry over recent years, I now want to seriously get involved with Build.
Designing UI/UX for a global, leading cryptocurrency involves various challenges: multiple languages, different user habits, various currency units, and diverse compliance requirements, each needing specialized handling.
Additionally, I believe that OKX needs an experienced designer to solve the challenging problems with the team. Designing complex products require a high entry barrier, I think my 10+ years of design experience in this field would allow me to quickly adapt and help the team create better products.
Thanks for reading! Have a good day!
