Hi, I'm Yoka. I have been working on UX/UI research, design, and strategy in different companies for the past six years, including startups, IT firms, and multinational corporations.

Between 2020-2023, I was part of the design team at IBM consulting iX, building a relationship with interdisciplinary IBM and client teams to deliver business value to the client and create opportunities for IBM.

I specialize in covering quantitative and qualitative data in a delightful experience that is easy to use and user-centric. By communicating actively with the clients, I am able to able to efficiently meet business goals. I would say my biggest strength is my highly productive ability and interdisciplinary background which together create great collaboration with teams and accelerate workflow for organizations and businesses. The successful projects I have worked with clients on include: OCBC Wing Hang Bank mobile application, AIA insurance Benefit Optimizer, and DS Smith service design.

I have a Master's in Design Strategies from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where I received a fellowship.
