I’m an interaction designer with 9+ years’ experience shaping digital products and services across public sector, charity and education. I specialise in taking work from discovery through to delivery, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to design clear, effective and user‑centred solutions.
Alongside my professional work, I run CantoChat—a personal project exploring Cantonese language and culture, where I draw on my illustration and graphic design background. It’s a way for me to create work that feels personal while continuing to develop my visual and design practice.
