I have been a product designer with 4 YOE. I’ve been a follower of design since that first design & technology class I took back in high school. (thanks Mr.Thombs!)

I have built apps from the ground up but also worked alongside design-mature teams to optimising a late-stage startup across wealth-tech, travel-tech, AI-tech and prop-tech.

In 2023, I began working as an independent contractor to several startups and scale-ups. With a focus in B2B applications. I find it rewarding to drive business metrics incrementally, while shipping delightful end-users’ experience.

Prior to that, I was working on a team responsible for deposit and withdrawal optimisation at a wealth management startup and part of the founding team at a n online home rental platform.

I went to Milan to study design. Gio Ponti and Achille Castiglioni those sorts. Where I also worked briefly at a design consultancy, at the interchange of tangible (industrial) and intangible design (service, UI/UX).

For a period of time, I designed lamps. I loved the result of a room transformed by simple light choices and positioning.

Now, I enjoy the thrill of building impactful and purposeful product fast, optimising business operations, while maintaining high standards of user satisfaction.

I’ve had the opportunity to live in Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City while growing up. While the first half of my childhood was spent in Penang, the quaint little island Penang.

I still dream about bringing changes to Southeast Asia through design. If you have any idea, please let me know.

When I’m not at my desk, you’d find me on my scooter zip-zapping across town, hopping from one artsy place to another.
