Hello, I'm Justin Chong.

ABOUT

Staff Product Designer at UnitedMasters in Los Angeles, designing operational systems across web and mobile. I turn technical and business constraints into clear, reliable interfaces that scaleβ€”especially where accuracy, throughput, and trust matter.

I lead production systems spanning distribution, financial visibility, monetization, internal operations, logistics, and security tooling. I partner with product, engineering, data, and operations to improve system reliability and decision-making.
