About

Hey, it's Vivi!

I'm a product designer with a passion for crafting intuitive, streamlined solutions across a range of platforms and systems. I made the leap from visual merchandising in the fashion industry to product design in just 6 months and went on to land a job abroad.

With 35+ mentees from 7+ different countries, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in helping individuals jumpstart their careers as junior product designers. I'm driven by the desire to share my story and experience of how I accomplished my goals, and inspire others who are looking to make a career change and start from scratch as a digital content creator.

When I'm not designing, you can find me exploring architecture and art museums, painting abstract masterpieces, writing thought-provoking blogs, and immersing myself in the sounds of jazz, techno, house, and disco music.
