"Discovery is an accident meeting a prepared mind"
THIS IS MY STORY
I knew at a young age that I was a weird kid. I coloured within strong, bold lines but drew vivid, imaginative monsters. I studied Newton's Laws and Algebra, but I was in a special art class of abstract paintings and sculptures, learning about Van Gogh who sliced his ear off. I played sports because I can, but I loved music.
I choose to believe that I'm just a unicorn finding my way around the urban jungle. My goal is to make the world a better place with simplicity and elegance. I'm working on experimenting different paths to get there.
Early Days
Started toying with new ideas to solve daily problems with technology and design in the later years of undergrad. studies, with the 1st being ShopOne - A Digital Card Aggregator, a solution to reduce the crazy amount of loyalty and credit cards in your wallet. Mind you, we still do face this problem and there isn't really a major player out there dominating the market yet due to various reasons. Here, I awakened the giant within.
The Journey
It started with me venturing into the unknowns of Product Managing, where I was a bridge between the audience and brilliant minds involved in making it work - Engineers, Marketers, Writers, Sales gurus. From using consumer behaviour, redefining product directions, ideation, to end-to-end product development, the team and I focused on building something our readers want in a simple, classy manner.
The unexpected
See through the eyes of locals
An impulse to join a Hackathon and the fire to do something great set me off a different path. We won the Hackathon, we incubated in Sydney, we drank unmeasurable amount of wine, we started Globe Hop to help travellers see the world through locals' eyes and discover experiences only locals know.
