The fear of being just another face in the crowd drives everything I do—it’s the force behind my determination to push boundaries, take risks, and make sure that what I create or achieve is truly unforgettable.

Hello, I am Tim.
A product & interaction designer with an architecture background.

/ ABOUT ME

I’m a product designer with 5 years of industry experience, but my design journey began much earlier. As a child, I built imaginative creations with Legos, sparking my lifelong curiosity for design and problem-solving. At 13, I wrote my first line of code, a milestone that paved the way for a foundation in frontend development. This coding background not only shaped my transition into design but also ensures seamless handoffs with developers and mastery of no-code tools like Webflow.

TL;DR

5 years industry experience.

First line of code at 13.

My love for interactive websites and motion design eventually led me into UI/UX design. I started out designing interfaces and coding them before fully embracing a design-first approach. Over the years, I’ve explored various design disciplines, starting with logo creation and branding projects to creating marketing collaterals while volunteering in student organizations like AIESEC, where I grew to lead marketing teams. A standout moment was running a campaign that converted 65% of registered delegates into paid attendees in less than a month—a testament to teamwork, strategy, and creative execution.

TL;DR

I was designing and building before I fully transitioned to design.

Explored various design disciplines - logo creation, branding, designing marketing collaterals

Led marketing effort for a 65% conversion rate in less than a month for a paid event while volunteering.

In my third year, motion design became a defining part of my skill set, adding color and depth to my work while steering me further into interaction design—a field I continue to refine and specialize in today. My academic background in architecture also broadened my perspective, teaching me about the universality of problem-solving through design and solidified my understanding of creativity as a tool for expression and impact.

TL;DR

Learning motion design was a canon event in my design career. It steered me into interaction design

My architecture background broadened my design perspective by emphasizing the universality of problem-solving with design.

I’ve had the privilege of designing experiences, products, and services across industries such as finance, e-commerce, education, healthcare, and hospitality. Currently, I design for onboarding and fraud detection at Grey, where I also maintain the motion design system that underpins the product experience.

TL;DR

Designed various products in various industries. Currently work in the Finance industry at Grey designing for onboarding customers and for fraud detection. Also, maintaining the motion design system.

Giving back has been integral to my journey. I’ve taught UI/UX and motion design in student communities like Google Developer Student Clubs and AIESEC, sharing knowledge that has shaped my growth as much as it has helped others.

In my free time, I enjoy discovering new music, playing games, binge-watching captivating shows, and designing just for fun. I’m also revisiting my coding roots—fine-tuning my JavaScript and React skills while exploring Framer Motion for creating spring animations. It’s part of my ongoing mission to sharpen my expertise in interaction design and bring even greater value to product teams.

TL;DR

Taught UI/UX design and Motion design at Google Developer Student Clubs and AIESEC respectively

Revisiting my coding roots and exploring Framer motion for creating spring animations.

Every experience is an opportunity for creative expression, and I’m constantly seeking ways to push the boundaries of what design can achieve.
