About me
Hello, my name is Samuel.
I got into product design because I'm deeply passionate about technology and how it profoundly changes our way of living. For the past 11 years, I have been solving users and business problems and delivering delightful interfaces & experiences across domains like web3 and finance industries.
Over the past few years, I've had the pleasure of working with some genuinely ambitious teams in Hong Kong — helping HSBC shipped stock screener for APAC regions, building OKX's Grow tab and leading Financial Products design team, and most recently leading product design at Pepperstone Crypto, building a brand new crypto exchange. The work spans domains, but it's always fundamentally about people and how they make sense of complexity.
My journey
Interned at Apple
Majoring in Arts in college, I took a gap year working for Apple's iTunes & App Store team. This valuable experience cultivated my interest and knowledge in digital products.
Co-founding an agency
With growing freelance web & design projects, I co-founded a digital agency after graduation. Me and my team helped small businesses, entrepreneurs, and non-profits launching their projects.

After that, I transitioned to start-up & corporations as a product designer to lead design projects in travel, banking and crypto industries.
