My design practice started by building websites in the late 90s when the internet was young and full of wonder. In the early 2000s, the web became the platform. In the 2010s, mobile and touch transformed the web and our everyday reality: we pick up our phones roughly every 7 minutes to interact with one of a few apps – the everyday things someone is continuously designing to shape the experience of our lives.
My fascination with technology started when I was a kid, I grew up on the internet, and my journey as an immigrant to Hong Kong was enabled by the transformative power of digital. Over the last two decades, I have helped design and build a handful of apps across the industries like logistics, real estate, smart homes, insurance, co-working, and others. I worked with both startups and corporations, always on the innovation side.
I love gathering teams, understanding the customer's needs, and building meaningful experiences. Seeing a team's success and the personal growth it brings to the members is my source of meaning.
I never enjoyed traditional education: it is slow and detached from practice. I found doing first and catching up on theory later more practical. In 2017 I designed my first UX course and found so much joy in creating learning experiences for my students. Today the alumni of my courses work in many startups in Hong Kong and globally.
With Happyer I'm taking my course to the next level with a full-time 8-week program. I invite you to immerse yourself in the design practice and level up with us. I'm excited to see what you will design and build next!

Through our research with 100s of companies that hire students from bootcamps, the key difference they saw that ensure students were able to succeed in a new role was based on the projects they worked on.
By being able to tackle problems and projects that are from larger companies and therefore more complex, students are truly able to learn and apply their skills. This applies particularly to UX/UI, Data Science and Coding courses. For Digital Marketing, projects from startups and corporates can both be relevant.
We therefore ensure that we only find and select the most challenging projects from well-known companies.
