Craft first.
Advertising taught me art direction. Art direction led me to UX. UX pulled me into enterprise product. Long before the titles, the through-line was already set: make the idea tangible, then make it better.

Founder of Joyventure. Formerly IBM's first Global Design Principal from Hong Kong — one of 73 worldwide — and Chief Product Officer at Preface.
Advertising taught me craft. IBM taught me scale. Preface taught me speed. Every version shipped taught me something the previous one couldn't — that's the point, and that's the practice.
I lead. I craft. I articulate. I iterate.

From Global Design Director at IBM iX — leading engagements for DS Smith, Salesforce, Air New Zealand, and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand — to Associate Partner and Global Design Principal: one of 73 worldwide, the first ever from Hong Kong or Greater China. $150M+ in commercial impact, 50+ enterprise engagements, and proof that design moves P&Ls.

I took enterprise conviction into a Series A EdTech startup: 30 direct reports, 0→1 product lines, service design as the diagnostic tool. Different speed, same discipline — ship the version that teaches you the most, fastest.

Joyventure is an AI-driven product venture studio — co-building with venture partners, starting with a Customer Reactivation platform for SMBs. Strategic. Beautiful. Human joy, by design. This chapter is being prototyped in public.

Twelve lessons from a year of building, leading, and rebuilding — delivered as a fully interactive piece, not a slide deck. Because a talk about prototyping should be one.


Conference keynotes, executive offsites, and design-org all-hands — on prototyping culture, AI transformation, and leading design as a commercial force. Interactive by default.
