Resume

Who I am:

I’ve had an interesting journey to becoming a UX/UI designer.

I studied engineering and economics while doing freelance graphic design straight out of school. Soon after, I transitioned entirely to my passion; design. In those few years, I worked a number of design roles across Real Estate, Signage and Print which lead me to start my own design business (called Lemon) in 2020.

While I saw some success running Lemon, I recognised the importance of working alongside other great designers to become better at my craft. This led me to becoming a Digital Designer for SaaS company ‘iseekplant’, where I single-handedly rolled out a company-wide rebrand, redesigned their SaaS platform and hammered coffee to keep the pace.

Currently, I’m working as Senior Product Designer (Lead) for CAPTUR3D, working alongside team leads and company directors to drive product innovation, user-centered design, UX strategy and design culture across the business.
