Hi, I'm Alan Pan.

Leadership Style
Every leader is different. This is how I roll.
Enpower
Micromanaging is no fun. With clear expectations and objectives, I’m a hands-off leader who create the space for my team to do their best work. No shouting necessary.
Grow
I care deeply if each team member is challenged and have the opportunity to grow. I provide honest and timely feedback for my team to improve.
Laugh
Nobody likes to work with grumpy coworkers, not even remotely. I strive for a team cuture where we’re not afraid to make fun of each other and still hang out after work.
From My Mentees

"I really enjoyed my conversation with Alan. I left feeling like I got to see inside the industry of AR/VR and as an incoming designer it helped me plan my career map more effectively. He was very knowledgeable and gave boosts of confidence to me along the way which goes a long way for an incoming UX Designer."
