I am Shawn Park. Currently Sr. Staff Product Designer at Discord, based in SF Bay Area. Interface Designer. Product Builder. A smol nerd with big dreams.
I’m an interface designer whose superpower is transforming nascent ideas into compelling concepts with speed and precision. I’ve led design at companies across various stages, from early-stage esports startup Blitz to shaping the best-in-class mobile messenger at Discord.
Growing up, my mother always told me, “Don’t just consume what’s out there—create something new and meaningful.” That advice fuels my approach to design: staying curious, critically evaluating the world around me, and finding ways to improve the status quo. Through design, I aim to bring joy, inspire change, and make the world just a little better, one step at a time.
I live in Santa Clara, CA, with my wonderful wife, who inspires me to be my best self and savor life’s moments. When I’m not crafting designs, you’ll find me gaming, cheering for T1, indulging in fine teas, or jamming to K-pop.

Principles
Curious,
yet Critical.
My design process begins with a deep dive into the problem space to uncover the "why." At the same time, I challenge the status quo by thinking from first principles. I believe in being data-informed, not data-driven—using data to shape opinions rather than following it blindly.

Strong opinions,
Loosely held.
I bring clear opinions to the table, whether it’s about visual style, product principles, or business direction. I thrive in teams with equally strong viewpoints because I believe the best ideas emerge from healthy debates and the blending of diverse perspectives.

Uncompromising Quality, Blazing fast.
One of my superpowers is delivering pixel-perfect designs at remarkable speed. I push for this standard across every team I join, proving that speed and quality aren’t mutually exclusive. By rigorously scrutinizing and cutting unnecessary scope, I ensure we ship fast without sacrificing excellence.

I'd love to grab tea to talk about anything - from design and tech to esports and kpop. Shoot me an email and we can work something out.
