About
I'm a product-focused UX designer with a love for systems, structure, and solving real user problems. With skills in project management and data analytics, I design with both empathy and logic, balancing user needs with business goals. At Sephora Southeast Asia, I improved the cross-platform shopping experience across 8 countries, integrated millions of international reviews, and boosted campaign performance by 52% through mental-model-driven navigation design. I've led UX initiatives that reduced customer service tickets, increased promo code conversion rates, and scaled internal research practices across teams. What drives me is the intersection of design, data, and process. I bring a research-first mindset to every project, use analytics to back up decisions, and love documenting workflows that help teams move faster with less friction. What I Bring: • Global Product Strategy: Expertise in designing scalable solutions across diverse markets and cultural contexts. • Data-Driven Design: Proficiency in SQL, Tableau, and Excel to analyze user behavior and validate design impact. • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Experience managing stakeholder requirements across product, engineering, and business teams. Recent Focus: Expanding my strategic capabilities through advanced data analytics and business management training to bridge the gap between user needs and business objectives. My Toolkit: Figma, Miro, Notion, Asana, Jira, Confluence, Airtable, Tableau, SQL, and more. I’m all about blending creativity and systems to help teams work smarter. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me travelling or teaming up on co-op puzzle games (design thinking, but with snacks and controllers).
