Previously, I did UI design at Foodspotting: an app that serves as a visual guide to good food and where to find it. The San Francisco-based startup was acquired by OpenTable in early 2013. Before Foodspotting, I self-started several e-commerce projects for emerging markets in South-East Asia.

I went to engineering school initially, but later discovered my passion in design. After graduating, I taught myself the fundamentals of design and the use of various design tools. I've also learnt a ton from numerous individuals in the design community. It's been an incredible journey and even now, it's still lots of fun discovering and learning new things.

I grew up in sunny Singapore and beautiful New Zealand. Outside of work, I have an unhealthy obsession with photography, minimalism and tea (though not necessarily in that order). I also use the term "hipster" way too often and should probably figure out how to break that annoying habit.

I'm not looking for new opportunities at this moment, but feel free to reach out if you have a question or want to get a Philz coffee. I love connecting with interesting people who are doing meaningful things.
