Hi my name is Kuan, a designer from Melbourne.
I am a multidisciplinary designer with a focus on Digital Design, Product Design and Branding. I transform complex problems into intuitive and visually compelling innovative solutions.
I value integrity, empathy, and excellence and these ideals guide my approach to problem solving and life in general.
Brands I have worked with
In 20 years as a professional, I have accumulated a wealth of experience working with a variety of businesses, including ambitious startups, large media organisations, lifestyle brands, and Fortune 500 corporations.

“I was impressed with the capability, energy and professionalism of the team, particularly the in-depth user research, which led to a design that not only met our needs but also exceeded expectations. Kuan’s effective leadership and the team's high-impact solution were so well received that I invited them to present their work to a broader audience of consulting firms, leading to discussions of future work opportunities."
Matthew Mulrine
"Kuan's ability to create a thoughtful customer journey demonstrated a deep understanding of user needs. She consistently employed empathy throughout the design process, ensuring the deliverables would be not only functional, user-friendly and also aligned with the business objectives. Kuan was highly engaged from planning to delivery and managed to keep everyone on the same page. Her clear and transparent communication ensured all stakeholders were aligned and understood the project's direction"
Trinski Liwanag
“Collaborating with Kuan was a seamless process. Within a tight schedule of four weeks, her management and public relation capabilities helped keep the team and project on track. She would take time to clarify certain plans and proposals to the team members who requested it, making for an inclusive and healthy collaborative environment where everyone's potential was allowed to flourish.”
Lindsey Vassallo
“Kuan was a fantastic team lead and Uxer to work with. She was cool under pressure, let everyone contribute, knew when to take control and when to step back, it was largely because of her leadership we got to where we did with the project.”
Will Harrison-Smith
"Kuan is approachable and personable, providing the team with the direction and support needed to get tasks done. She is professional and highly skilled in the UX Design field, showing confidence but also humility, always wanting to learn more. I recommend Kuan because she has the maturity and the ability to handle difficult situations in a tactful manner, always showing up with a smile and positive attitude, ready to tackle any task."
Rebecca Swift
“Kuan was the glue that held our team together, building a collaborative and supportive environment. No matter the hurdle, Kuan was always there to find solutions and keep the project moving forward. She created a space where everyone felt comfortable sharing ideas, leading to some truly creative solutions that truly impressed the client. The client’s positive feedback and their consideration of extending the project are a direct reflection of Kuan’s exceptional leadership skills."
Joanne Dinh
"Kuan was a very supportive and considerate fellow team leader during our work with Leading Insight. Highly organised and thorough, she helped ensure communications between the two teams were timely and effective. Whether it was organising meetings, liaising with the client, or scheduling catch-ups, Kuan consistently kept me informed and took into consideration the needs of my team. This was immensely valued, considering the high-pressure four-week sprint."
Fiona McFarland
“Kuan is a smart designer, generous leader and all round lovely person. Her thoughtful approach added value to each phase of our project. From her drive to lead research, insights when synthesising data, to creative thinking when designing solutions. We could always rely on Kuan to have energy, passion and inspiration to move the project forward."
Amanda Dixon
"Kuan’s performance has always been that of a high achiever, incredible attention to detail, and outcome focused. In addition to this, she prides herself on being a strong stakeholder manager (across many levels) and works hard to promote a collaborative team environment that achieves holistic gains over and above individual gains. In addition to this, Kuan has a great growth mindset which I believe underpins how she carries herself in a professional environment."
