SyDNEY — SINGAPORE

Product Design • UX/UI • Brand • Illustration

I've led design across brand, product, and everything in between.


Agency life gave me a front-row seat to all kinds of chaos –– from small startups to massive enterprises, across fintech, bio-informatics, SaaS, sustainability, e-commerce, and Web3.


Deadlines were tight. Budgets were tighter, and sometimes the clients were real nasty. But these were the challenges that shaped me, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Good design feels good.

Good design feels good.

Good design feels good.

Feels like a "duh", but I really believe that the best design decisions are the ones that leave people with a genuinely good feeling.


They might not remember what they clicked, but they'll remember how they felt –– that feeling shapes how they see your brand, and whether they'll come back.


I try to bring that across into every project, blending logic, and a healthy dose of creativity and intuition.


Make it simple, make it work, make it feel good.
