Senior Industrial Designer
Principal Specialist
Drove competitive market growth by developing and executing mid-to-long-term design strategies that successfully balanced global aesthetic trends with crucial localized innovations. Pioneered new form factors and high-performance laptop designs, directly leading to a stronger market presence and significant competitive advantage in emerging markets.
Led the design strategy for new product development, successfully bringing the AIO product series to market and strengthening the brand's premium positioning. My innovative contributions were recognized with multiple patent grants and three acclaimed international design awards.
Within a lean team at the Singapore Design Center, I collaborated closely on cutting-edge interaction design and comprehensive design research. Our collective efforts yielded innovative design concepts presented at CES, including the AIRO concept, which earned multiple patents. This project was instrumental in redefining gaming laptop design by introducing novel form factors and advanced cooling solutions.
Developed a strong foundation in mass production design (plastic and metal sheet fabrication) for ODM products, encompassing notebooks, IoT devices, and smart wearables, by delivering multiple client proposals. Leveraging this technical acumen, I transitioned to leading innovative product design planning, exemplified by the ACER Smart Bead solution, which successfully integrated complex hardware and software. This work not only enhanced brand offerings but also resulted in nine secured design patents.
Automotive & Industrial Designer
Designed and delivered impactful proposals for home appliances, medical research devices, and automotive interiors. Successfully developed an award-winning router design that established a new product identity for the client, recognized with the iF Design Award.

ProEngineer Creo
The most popular design engineering software in Asian manufacturing. It seamlessly integrates design, engineering, and manufacturing processes. Many well-known electronics brands and ODMs widely use and standardize on Creo.
Adobe illustrator
The crucial for the initial stages of product development, especially in Human-Machine Interface (HMI) design. This allows for creating and refining multiple HMI solutions with precise, true-to-scale renderings. It enables early troubleshooting, helping solidify design direction and reduce prototype development risk.
Adobe Photoshop
An invaluable design tool, serving as the premier companion for 2D raster rendering effects. It excels at refining rendering imperfections and can significantly enhance the color schemes of hand-drawn design sketches. This capability ensures all visual outputs are polished, professional, and impactful.
3D Software
2D Software
Keyshot
A powerful 3D rendering software that helps businesses bring their designs to life with stunning photorealistic visuals. It enables companies to reduce the need for costly physical prototypes, accelerate design iterations, and present products with unparalleled visual accuracy.
C4D
A alternative 3D rendering and animation software, serving as an excellent alternative for high-quality product visualization and motion graphics. Its intuitive interface and powerful toolset allow for the creation of compelling 3D models, photorealistic renders
Rendering
Figma
A highly flexible, web-based 2D visual design and editing tool, ideal for expressing interactive interface concepts and creating engaging presentations. While it's not a direct web generation tool (requiring Framer for that purpose), its drawing methods closely align with Adobe Illustrator's operations, allowing for seamless application of similar design skills. Figma's collaborative nature makes it an excellent choice for team-based UI/UX development and rapid prototyping.
Framer
a powerful web-based software that excels at rapidly editing web structures and allows for direct publishing of finished web pages. It's an ideal tool for quickly bringing interactive web concepts to life, enabling businesses to accelerate their web development workflows and deploy prototypes or simple websites with efficiency.
