My first interaction with design was teaching myself Photoshop at 11 to build websites and share assets online.

After that early obsession with the web, I went on to study Architecture for my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, where I lived, worked and studied across seven cities in Europe and Asia. Architecture taught me to think in systems: how structure, function, and human behaviour interact to shape physical experiences.

After graduating, I transitioned into tech and became a self-taught UX designer, joining Lalamove in Hong Kong before moving into fintech at CoinFLEX, where I led product design initiatives across trading, onboarding, and platform systems.

After a couple of intense years in the startup environment, I took time away from tech to travel and study traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai. TCM is rooted in systems thinking: understanding how different parts of a system influence one another. This perspective deepened how I think about products, people, and complex systems.

Curiosity led me to explore one more path before returning to Product: sales. I wanted to understand the commercial side of business: What do customers truly care about? How are products positioned, sold, and scaled? That curiosity brought me to Adyen, where I learned the world of enterprise payments and the realities of global financial infrastructure.

Now, I am returning to product design with a broader perspective, combining systems thinking, product craft, and commercial understanding to build digital products increasingly shaped by AI and complex systems.
