Introduction

The Content Ecosystem & Integrity team works at the intersection of trust, transparency, user control, and platform policy, shaping product experiences that support a healthier content ecosystem on TikTok.


By working on personalization settings, recommendation explanations, compliance communication, and internal tools, I strengthened my ability to simplify complex systems into clearer and more intuitive product experiences. This experience also helped me grow beyond interface design by sharpening my product thinking, cross functional collaboration, and ability to balance user needs with policy and business constraints.

# Recommendation Transparency

Why This Post

Redesigned the “Why this post” feature to make recommendation logic easier to understand and easier to act on. By connecting transparency with preference controls, I turned passive explanation into a more actionable, user-controlled experience for users

# Policy Enforcement

Age Verification Flow

Designed an age verification gating experience for underage users. I defined a multi-step interaction flow with retry logic and feedback mechanisms to balance policy enforcement with user experience, reducing frustration while maintaining compliance.

# Platform Research Data Tool

Visual Query for

Researchers

Designed a data access tool for external researchers to efficiently filter and retrieve data. I structured the workflow to support pre-download filtering and guided query setup, enabling non-technical users to access relevant datasets without manual post-processing.
