Born in Malaysia, raised around the world, and shaped by France, I’ve always been driven by two questions: How do things work? and How do they make us feel?
This curiosity naturally led me to the University of Technology of Compiègne, where I built a strong engineering foundation and got introduced to industrial design, and later to INSEAD to broaden my understanding of business and the bigger picture behind products.
I believe great design is where creativity meets feasibility. Beautiful concepts matter, but only when they can be engineered, built, and used. Thanks to my technical background, I design with intention: anticipating constraints, solving problems early, and ensuring ideas survive the journey from sketch to market.
I’ve worked across cultures and industries, both in-house and within design studios. With 5+ years of experience, I’m proud that several products I’ve contributed to are now on the market and have been recognized with design awards.
