I believe great design comes from championing the needs of the users.

In the words of Tron, “I fight for the users!”

About

I come from an industrial design background but have since pivoted to the digital space, however my physical design knowledge and experience have continue to help me on my journey.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me either reading a book with a nice cup of tea or at the gym pumping iron to the beat of 80s rock bands.

Experience So Far

Currently, I am leading the effort to conceptualise the Singapore Government Developer Console to improve the developer experience.
