I use design thinking and technology to help small businesses solve problems and innovate.

THE BRIEF SUMMARY

Businesses benefit from my capability for Bauhaus-inspired designs, a long background in creating hybrid technology products using lean methodologies, and an understanding of what it takes to start and run a small business from the ground up.

I currently create and consult for startups and spinoffs based out of Hong Kong. I also create packaging design for sustainable brands, develop omnichannel platforms for small businesses globally.

    Ichiseko Members-Only Resort

    One of my proudest projects to date, Ichiseko approached me years ago upon the pre-launch of their high-end members-only club in an exclusive valley within the hills of Hokkaido, Japan.

    Paprwork Document Maker

    I was approached in late 2018 about a common problem a lot of my clients and some management consultants face: re-using the same blocks of text repeatedly. After much research and three rounds of high-fidelity prototypes, we created Paprwork to solve this issue. In short, Paprwork is a web app that stores blocks of text…

    During its life before the pandemic, Weesper was making waves in the Hong Kong recruitment scene by capitalising on how we all know the best hires get made: through personal referrals.

I love small business owners, so I became one too.

With over 10 years in the industry, I noticed many clients came to me about the same problems.

And for those looking to digitise business processes or improve their employee on-boarding experience, I also provide the Wrkflow process automation SaaS tool.

And I sometimes dabble in…
