Meet Member #2: Olivia Chen, Product Designer in the SEC Community
Building a professional career in a new country comes with both opportunity and uncertainty — and for Olivia Chen, it meant re-establishing her design career within Canada’s fast-moving tech ecosystem.
As a product designer with experience in digital platforms and user-centered design, Olivia joined the SEC Community while preparing to transition her career to Canada. Her focus was clear: understanding the local job market, aligning her experience with Canadian expectations, and connecting with professionals in the tech and startup space.
Through the SEC Community, Olivia found practical guidance and meaningful connections that helped her navigate this transition with confidence. From soft-landing support to conversations with founders, developers, and fellow designers, the community provided insight into how products are built, scaled, and managed within the Canadian market.
What stood out most was the collaborative environment. By engaging with others who shared their real-world experiences, Olivia was able to refine her professional positioning, better communicate her value, and approach new opportunities with clarity rather than guesswork.
Today, Olivia represents the growing group of global professionals within the SEC Community — individuals who bring international expertise while actively adapting to local industry standards. Her journey reflects the role of community in turning transition into momentum and ambition into tangible progress.
As Member #2, Olivia continues to contribute to the SEC Community through shared knowledge, thoughtful conversations, and a collaborative mindset that strengthens the network as a whole.
