An award-winning multidisciplinary Product leader and Designer with 10+ years across AI, AR, UX, and architecture. I design systems with experiences — across physical & digital. Holds a double master’s degree in Innovation Design Engineering from Royal Collage of Art (MA) and Imperial College London (MSc), and strategy experience from McKinsey, I turn ambiguity into vision, empathy into user-center innovation, and moonshot ideas into scalable business impact.

01

Issue

In a digital world, touch— essential for emotional closeness —is still missing from remote communication. FULU fills this gap with a small device that lets users send and feel touch, restoring intimacy.

AI-enabled sales optimization tool for a Fortune 500 company, unlocking $100M+ in sales growth across 4 countries.

01

Issue

Sales teams were overwhelmed by managing complex, omnichannel engagements under intense time pressure. Despite rich data, they lacked digital tools to turn insights into action.

02

RESOLUTION

As a Product Manager, I led UX strategy and product roadmap for an AI app, analyzing 200+ variables to prioritize high-impact features. I ran workshops in 4 countries to align cross-functional teams - users, AI scientists, and business - and worked with C-suites to define KPIs. Created an App UI wireframe prototype to align with the workshops visually.

03

IMPACT

• Launched MVP in 4 countries within 9 months

• Drove $100M+ in sales growth

• Earned client praise: “Significantly improved our sales workflow.”

• Created a “Product Owner Playbook” to build internal capability

• Shipped UI that scalable in 4 countries while implimenting users top needs

Co-led research and digital prototyping to engage a rare user group (0.005%) and improved Japan’s Foster Parent System with NPOs and governments.

01

Issue

Japan’s Foster Care System suffers from extremely low participation—just 20,000 foster households (0.005%) despite 4.5 million people understanding the concept. Empathy-led research was needed to uncover barriers and reimagine outreach.

02

RESOLUTION

Co-led design research to understand this rare user group and uncovered the journey gaps. Created actionable persona archetypes and designed digital engagement tools — illustrated manga and a quiz — to boost empathy and emotional connection.

03

IMPACT

• Identified key journey gaps and created targeted interventions

• Published a McKinsey Insight White Paper; praised as a “breakthrough in reaching rare profiles” by the policy makers

• Digital tool had 113K impressions in 1 month; triggered 42 intent-driven actions — a high signal rate in a historically inactive segment

What future are we shaping?

What future are we shaping?

I imagine a world where space, technology, and emotion flow together — where AI is not just intelligent, but intuitive and caring, helping us feel more connected, more human.

Physical AI is the next frontier — moving beyond screens and agents to create experiences that are embodied, empathetic, and seamlessly woven into everyday life.
