Personal Projects
- Jar of Awesome – Building an iOS app with SwiftUI
I’ve always been interested in coding, along with my interest to better understand Apple’s Human Interaction guidelines, I decided to learn SwiftUI to really immerse myself into their ecosystem. The result was launching my very own iOS app for storing positive events. - UX Stamps – Physical rubber stamps for quick wireframing
My first attempt at creating and selling a physical product with pleasantly positive results. What started off as a quick video of a prototype on Linkedin went on to sell $1,000 USD worth of units within days of soft launching an incredibly basic website with a paypal button. After selling hundreds of units, and equally many trips to the post office, I decided to sell the business.

The way I am
At 8 years old, We made a big move from Hong Kong to the UK. The language barrier forced me to become a keen observer and develop strong empathy. Navigating those feelings of helplessness and misunderstanding fuelled my passion for creating products that are clear, inclusive, and user-friendly.
