Designed and created a playable mini-bingo game over an afternoon for a Church gathering icebreaker in the evening. I designed it on Figma and prototyped and coded it through FigmaMake.

It is designed and optimised for mobile (due to context). You can try it here.

Worked with a British startup to design, prototype and create a Hong Kong demo of their property research platform. My work led to a successful roadshow product demo and gaining more user traction, with the functional FigmaMake prototype covering about 70% of app functionality.

Had my 4th major portfolio overhaul this year, and entered my third round of rapid prototyping for conversion on my portfolio based on the portfolio's analytics.

Got to practice A/B testing, user empathy and design strategy and working with animations.

I had the pleasure of being a backup singer at a Gospel night held at Lau Bak Freespace Livehouse with some incredibly talented individuals.

It was a testament to how far I've come as when I first arrived in Hong Kong, I had immense anxiety about singing in front of people. Glory to God!

Started experimenting with advanced prototyping tools to bring my design and work to the next level of interactivity and engagement. This has allowed me to make new interactions at work, and bring some more visual intrigue to my portfolio through the lotties you see scattered around ;).

I was entrusted with the opportunity to represent and pitch Neardeal's product at the HKSTP Startup Alumni Association.

Our product pitch resulted in some partnership opportunities and connections. This helped me improve my pitching skills and even my deck design skills.

Tried my hand at vibecoding using Cursor. It's quite interesting seeing how the technology is progressing.

Quite curious how it will progress in future and help speed up development times for apps and websites, or even enable designers like me to make products.

I was invited to be a panelist and share my experience working in the Hong Kong startup ecosystem in the HKSTP YSIP program.

This was a great opportunity to give back by sharing my experience with younger students, and to meet interesting people.

I audited, managed, tested and designed for Neardeal's product portfolio of 3 products.

Through my work, we were able to improve user experience, app quality, speed up development time, reducing costs.

I was invited to share my story at a youth camp for university students.

This gave me more confidence in sharing about my life and presenting.

I worked with the Co-Founder of KhaziFarm track to design the most critical user flow for their app seeking to connect rural and underprivileged farmers with financial services. You can view the case study here.

I returned to Expando as the Product design lead where I planned, strategised and designed the next phase of Expando.

Since this was the first fully-coded app, I learnt a lot about got to design more and be a part of more of the product process. Learn more here.

Through user flow mapping, I streamlined key user flows like the signup flow and the referral flow.

My improvements on the referral flow reduced user cognitive load resulting in greater engagement, productivity and therefore revenues.

I used the data gained to identify potential areas of improvement in our user experience.

I prioritised, designed and implemented them resulting in greater user engagement, satisfaction and therefore revenues.

I interviewed key Expando users and potential users to understand their needs, goals and our usability shortfalls.

I used these insights to create user personas, and guide present and future product roadmaps. This resulted in greater product-market fit and customer-centricity.

I returned to Expando to lead the next stage of improvement for their referral program marketplace.

I focused on identifying usability issues, improve the product and get insights for future product direction.

Got my first UIUX job as the design lead at Expando. I designed their no-code referral program marketplace MVP allowing for a succesful launch and initial usability testing.

I pitched my startup idea to a VC. While I eventually did not launch it due to constraints, it was still a good experience and gained some good connections.

Learnt about UIUX when I was working on a educational tablet computer idea during Covid.

Through working on designing the OS for the educational tablet, along with the tablets specs, I discovered my passion for product and UIUX design.
