I am a designer with great enthusiasm for solving people’s real frustrations — through building deep empathy with humans to design beautiful and meaningful services and products.

I started programming and designing mobile applications back in 2009, becoming the first batch of app publishers before App Store was commonly known. Since then, I've been so fortunate to work with many talented people, groundbreaking startups, and multinational organisations across continents — to design amazing products and services, teach and evangelise design thinking, build and coach design teams, and drive organisational transformations.

My work explores real frustrations through studying the relationship between people and systems. It embodies thoughtful design and emerging technologies in crafting human-centered experiences that address real business challenges.
