👋 About me:

Full-time dad and design manager by day. Currently at DBS Bank with 10+ years of experience designing digital products from mobile & web banking, and chatbot, to hotel/ flight booking sites & app. As a founding design member at DBS, I’m lucky enough to contribute to the team growth and work my way up from individual contributor to design manager.

Graduated with a geophysical engineering background, I consider myself a self-thought designer. I like to pick up new skills, learn something new and also share back what I created or learn along the way.

I enjoy taking pictures in my free time and experimenting with 3D art.
