I've embraced a versatile role, transitioning seamlessly between lead UX designer and hands-on contributor, encompassing a wide spectrum of activities such as user research, strategy development, solution design, usability testing, and visual design, ultimately contributing to project success.

On a daily basis, I collaborate closely with the business development team to engage with potential clients. My role involves delving into their unique problem spaces and crafting persuasive pre-sales pitches, driving the acquisition of new projects.

My expertise extends to overseeing the entire design process, actively participating in activities like stakeholder kick-off meetings, alignment workshops, user requirement gathering, user research, data analysis, and synthesis. Additionally, I conduct heuristics evaluations, shape digital strategies and roadmaps, facilitate rapid ideation workshops, and lead idea prioritisation efforts. These contributions have led to the development of comprehensive UX flows, wireframes, and captivating user interfaces, animations, and interactions.

Successfully delivered projects across a diverse spectrum of industries, earning recognition for the high quality of work. Clients have spanned Australian Government Agencies, Social/Community Care, Manufacturing/Processing, Agriculture, Beverages, Airlines, Insurance, and more.

I joined Concentrix Catalyst (formerly Tigerspike) in 2017 as a User Experience Designer, initially in Singapore. My role involved collaborating with the pre-sales team to create digital design solutions for client acquisition. On projects, I performed various roles, from overseeing the entire design process to hands-on work, including stakeholder meetings, user research, and strategy development. I conducted evaluations, shaped strategies, and facilitated creative workshops, resulting in comprehensive UX designs.

During my time at AdNovum Singapore, I transitioned to an in-house product design and development company.

Some notable achievements include designing an enterprise property inspection system, a private banking solution, a 360 interactive shopping experience concept for Microsoft Xbox One, and an interactive betting kiosk system for Singapore Pools, among others.
