Shaun Tai is one of the most influential individuals and mentors I've ever met. He helped boost my confidence as a designer. Everyday was more than a work day, but full of learning and getting out of your comfort zone. Shaun always came to work full of enthusiasm and positive energy. It was truly amazing to be given exclusive access to top tech companies and participating in UX workshops. I have met so many amazing mentors because of Shaun’s connections. He is such a great leader, truly cares about everyone he helps, and wants everyone to succeed. Shaun has played a huge role in my life.

Besides being an incredibly talented designer, Shaun Tai has the vision to accomplish things that others would be too daunted to try. He has brought opportunity to so many underrepresented designers who otherwise may not have found that kind of support. Shaun constantly gave us honest feedback on our work and encouraged us to grow in the ways we each needed most. It was so encouraging to get positive feedback from Shaun and know that he genuinely believed it.

Shaun Tai is passionate about making his community vision come to life. I appreciate his relatability; having the title of a Product Lead makes it seem that this person would be very intimidating, but Shaun was the exact opposite. He showed he was just like me. I'm so grateful that I was able to be a part of what Shaun is creating and I am happy to consider him as my mentor and friend.
