Little things about myself
About Me
I am constantly learning and I treasure every opportunity to design better. I’m learning to code right now and this website is my first attempt.
I’m hoping to express my creativity in this site though design, coding and writing.
Journey to Design
I studied cultural and film theories at The University of Hong Kong. I took a gap year and worked in iTunes & App Store, Apple as a Cross-Content Intern during college and this valuable experience sparked my interest in digital products and web.
After my internship, I took on some freelance projects as well as volunteered for students and community organisations, acquiring various skill sets to be a hybrid designer.
I started an agency Playa with a partner in 2015, hoping to help small businesses, entrepreneurs and nonprofits launch their projects and bridge the gap between project owners and end-users. We have launched dozens of websites and apps in Hong Kong with multiple recognitions.
Currently, I work as the Principal Designer at Hyperair, a start-up that aims to reinvent travel experiences.

I’m now pursuing a career in the field of UI/UX Design because I'm deeply passionate about technology and how it profoundly changes our way of living. The process of turning an idea into a viable product gives me great satisfaction.
