I'm a builder-minded product designer with 10+ years designing and launching products across Southeast Asia, from scaling Grab's early ride-booking flows to building Popsical's karaoke ecosystem from scratch. Unlike most designers, I don't just ship screens; I ship products. I've led cross-functional teams, designed for hardware + software integration, and even developed apps myself (MySolat, Flutter + AI tools). My edge is combining design craft with product ownership to deliver measurable growth, adoption, and retention.
