— [On a longer introduction] Design can be as extensive and intensive as the constraints are set. Most of the time, my job is to define, question, and work around those constraints.
My career began as a graphic designer, working on visual identities, publications, wayfinding, type design, UIs, and various printed materials.
In 2016, I shifted my focus to (digital) product design, bringing me opportunities to play a key role in major projects for renowned brands across the Asia Pacific. This shift has allowed me to design solutions that influence organizations and people on a large scale.
Since then, I have continuously expanded my practice: from designing UIs to designing comprehensive products; from delivering solutions to consulting; from digital to spatial design; and from managing one designer to leading a multidisciplinary team.

What mentees say
“I really enjoyed my chat with Vincent. He shared a lot about his agency experience and career path, which was super inspiring, and gave me a very thoughtful portfolio review. His feedback was thorough and easy to follow. I especially liked his point about how different hiring managers and teams look at portfolios differently—it really made me think more about the “viewer’s” side.”
“I had an outstanding experience with Vincent as my mentor. His amazing communication and deep subject knowledge made me feel heard and supported. He skillfully motivated me and provided tailored problem-solving strategies that directly addressed my needs. I highly recommend booking a session with Vincent if you're looking for a mentor who truly exceeds expectations”
“We started the session with questions about job interviews in Japan and ended with a mock interview. Mas Vincent gave me insightful answers and conducted a great interview session with well-structured feedback. I feel more confident about my interview next week. Wish me luck! Definitely an amazing mentor to learn from.”
