Hear from Shen-Hau Cheng, our UX & Design Director, as he shares more about our UX team and his leadership experience in Viki. “Our UX (User Experience) Team is dedicated to crafting a great experience for our viewers, helping them dive into our extensive library of Asian TV shows and movies. We aim to bring people together through these captivating stories from Korea, China, Japan, and other Asian regions, and make exploring Asian entertainment a seamless and enjoyable experience for audiences worldwide. To empower our team to do great work, one of my key responsibilities is to provide a clear perspective of what a great experience means for our viewers. This perspective is shaped by the collective efforts of our UX team. We conduct in-depth research to understand our global audience's needs and challenges. We create a comprehensive view of how our service is used across our website and apps, and we envision what an improved experience could look like. Together, we have built a shared understanding of our goals on how to enhance our viewers' experiences with Viki. With this view, our team members are better equipped to deliver impactful work that benefits both our viewers and our business in analytical and creative ways. We continuously keep track of how viewers experience our service through our custom made in-house customer satisfaction surveys, and evaluate how the service measures against our own and viewers’ expectations, which helps us to identify areas for improvement. This approach has contributed to some recent meaningful projects, such as: - Enhancing localization for the Brazilian market by understanding local cultural nuances through UX research, leading to a more accessible writing style and improved UI. - Improving access to our service by designing a more consistent and reliable experience across platforms, including new CTV apps for Samsung and LG TVs. It’s a pleasure to lead a diverse and fun team of talented researchers, designers, and writers who are passionate about our mission of bringing people together through Asian content. And I'm proud to see how we’re shaping a better experience through a blend of empathy for our viewers, design thinking, evidence-based decision-making, and a healthy dose of curiosity and creativity." #RakutenViki #LifeAtViki
