Nancy Lan-Lan Ma,

Product Designer

Hi, I’m Nancy — a product designer with over 10 years of experience bringing clarity to complex ideas. Over the past few years at SmartNews, I’ve designed news experiences that help millions of people stay informed, from Japan to the U.S. I care deeply about thoughtful storytelling, real user insight, and designing products that quietly make life a little easier.
