Founder
Big Meal Share
May 2022 - Present
Big Meal Share is a web-app to help users organize and host dinner parties. It provides features such as an attendance list, past meal reviews, and a guest RSVP system. It is singlehandedly designed and developed by moi using tools like Webflow, Airtable, and Make. Currently, it's undergoing beta testing with a small group of users in order to gather feedback and make improvements before it is made available to a wider audience.
Website Designer & Developer
Adventure Mate
Dec 2021 - Jan 2022
As a freelancer, I created a new e-commerce website for Adventure Mate, a company that sells outdoor adventure tools. My responsibilities included designing and developing a responsive website, implementing inventory management and sales funnel features, and using branding, marketing, and analytics tools. I also played a key role in producing product photography and videography for the website and social media marketing.
UX Lead
345 Global
Jan 2020 - Oct 2021
As the User Experience Lead, I was responsible for designing the user flow and interface for a range of mixed reality products developed by 345, a company that aims to revolutionize product and marketing placement in supermarkets. Working closely with the creative director, I created multiple prototypes for B2B web, mobile, and VR products and collaborated with developers to bring them to life. Through this role, I gained valuable industry experience and honed my prototyping skills. I also played a significant role in developing and implementing a company-wide design system.
Product Manager
345 Global
May 2021 - Oct 2021
I was asked to relocate to the United States to work with 345's major client and assist in setting up their technology lab and integrating our software into their company. This involved training their employees on how to use our technology suite, gathering important user feedback, and presenting demonstrations of our software to the company's executive team. This experience allowed me to work closely with both a startup and a multi-billion dollar FMCG company, and provided the opportunity to demonstrate my professional skills in a variety of contexts.
