— About

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

My background spans federal program delivery with Deloitte, Microsoft technology 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 Technology Training

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.
