— About

UX designer and program lead, built for structures larger than one person.

My background spans federal program delivery with Deloitte, Microsoft-partner training at national scale, and independent product design — three different structures, the same discipline of aligning design to stakeholders, constraints, and outcomes.

— Experience

Client Program Lead

SCADpro × Deloitte — Real ID Awareness Campaign (TSA Verify)

Mar 2025 – Jun 2025

  • Worked daily alongside Deloitte's program management team, TSA subject-matter professionals, and federal officials throughout a compliance-driven digital rollout.
  • Owned stakeholder communication across a cross-disciplinary team — aligning design decisions to Deloitte's business objectives and managing the timeline through weekly reviews.
  • Championed technology adoption for the traveller-facing app, contributing to a roughly 40% reduction in verification time, and presented the final system to Deloitte leadership.

Event Program Manager

Edukinnect — Microsoft Partner Program

2025 – Present

  • Deliver Microsoft technology training — Copilot, Teams, Minecraft Education — across university students, low-income households, and learners with disabilities.
  • Run mobile-app onboarding across Ministry of Home Affairs agencies (SPF, ICA, CNB, HTA, Gambling Regulatory Authority) and partner with MOE schools on Microsoft 365 rollout.
  • Own the program end to end: scheduling, stakeholder coordination, and on-the-ground delivery across a wide customer range — proof of working inside corporate and government structures, not just around them.

UX/UI Designer

AVAR Studios — Independent Practice

Jan 2022 – Present

  • Design and build product experiences for organisations across Southeast Asia and Australia, negotiating scope and technical constraints directly with engineering to prioritise MVP features.
  • Own strategy, research, design-system architecture, and development handoff for each engagement — the same discipline applied at Deloitte scale, applied here at product scale.

Student Ambassador

UNESCO — Technology in Education Conference, Bangkok

Nov 2023

  • Represented the youth and student voice at an international conference, engaging directly with delegates from around the world.
  • Practised real-time presentation with senior international officials — cross-cultural communication built across Singapore, the U.S., and France.

— Competencies

Stakeholder Alignment

Coordinating across program management, engineering, and executive stakeholders to keep every party aligned from first conversation to delivery — proven at Deloitte × TSA federal scale.

Design-System Discipline

Component-based Figma systems — variants, auto-layout, and documentation organised for engineering handoff, not just visual consistency.

Accessibility & Compliance

Designing to WCAG accessibility standards as a baseline requirement, not an afterthought — high-contrast states, large tap targets, and voice-guided flows for reduced-vision users.

Behavioral Design & Engagement Loops

A game-design background (SCAD) applied to enterprise product — feedback systems, onboarding flows, and micro-interactions engineered for adoption and retention, not just polish.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Negotiating technical constraints with developers to prioritise MVP scope, and aligning design decisions with business KPIs rather than working in isolation.

Program & Government Relations

Experience spanning federal officials, Deloitte leadership, and Ministry of Home Affairs agencies on high-stakes, deadline-driven programs.
