Hi! I am Sean.
Thanks for joining me on this journey, where you will see how the peaks and valleys have transformed me from a consultant into a product person, harmonizing design desirability, technical feasibility, and business viability.
Design journey - Onto the Slope of Enlightenment
⬆️ Much like a Gartner Hype Cycle, my UX and product journey has been non-linear. Through its peaks and troughs, I've gained a deeper understanding of UX and amassed extensive experience in building 0-1 products, conducting qualitative research to understand user behavior, and quantifying data to inform business decisions..
Subtopics of UX I am Passionate About
⬆️ I map out the sub-realms where I can leverage my expertise - it's not that I am boasting of being a Jack of all trades, but that showing an attitude of taking UX design career as a dynamically evolving journey and a "survival of the fittest game" - always ready to fit ourselves where we are needed.

Consulting & Design Ventures
I joined Deloitte as a business consultant after college. After two years at Deloitte, I transitioned to tech start-ups to focus on serving end-users directly. Deloitte honed my strategic thinking while working with diverse age groups in start-ups deepened my understanding of human-centered design.
