Matt Chu
Growth & Innovation design leader
I'm currently leading design for AI onboarding, discovery, and personalization at Coursera. I enable people to become the best versions of themselves through design.
Allow me to introduce myself
- I grew up crafting and making things and believing I'd be a scientist. At age 7, I once made a gadget that siphoned ice cold water into a tube, thus creating an outdoor shower (very much needed living in 100 degree weather in Las Vegas, NV).
- I'm known for shipping "spicy" designs that push the product and UX further than the brief asked. It literally doesn't hurt to think big and get discussions going!
- I set yearly goals in my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and weight training. Design and discipline go hand in hand. Sometimes it's that one extra rep + design exploration that will get you the results you want.
