MY DESIG PHILOSOPHY
Better product UX through holistic user journey
A meaningful product requires tremendous effort in engineering, product planning, design, and commercial launch. The product must be designed around the end users first before technologies, styling, business, and marketing. I encourage the team with an early emphasis on the best user/product journey exploration before any design and empower fail-fast approaches throughout the development. The creative power does not come from 1 individual, the combined individual's creativity is exponentially more powerful and dynamic synergy for design solutions and team vision.
My years of experience in UX/UI (digital) and Industrial (physical) design knowledge entrust me to navigate within the complex organization, design processes, execution, and creative management confidently, this knowledge enables me to influence others and empower everyone.

Let's make meaningful designs together
People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said,
but they will always remember how you made them feel.
