I’m Irene Chiam, a UX and Product Designer with a strong computing and software-systems background, based in Jakarta. I combine user-centered design with technical know-how to create thoughtful digital experiences—from early research and interaction design to prototyping and building user-facing interfaces.
I’ve led and delivered work across multiple teams, translating complex problems into practical solutions while keeping usability and accessibility in mind. Whether I’m designing end-to-end flows, refining component-based frontends with React/Tailwind, or coordinating initiatives for large communities, my goal is always to make products feel clear, reliable, and genuinely helpful for real people.

Led a team through ideation and development of a concept that helps people discover Melbourne locations, events, and communities based on their interests and aesthetic preferences. Defined product layouts and feature direction, incorporated team feedback, and made final design decisions. Took the product from initial problem exploration to a proposed solution and interactive prototype.
Designed a group food-decision experience as part of a multidisciplinary team, exploring interaction and visual design directions and validating them through usability testing. I created the colour palette, which was preferred by 5 of 7 participants and went on to shape the visual direction of the final prototype.
