I'm a business innovator - business and design make up the magic potion for my work. After 3 years in strategy consulting, I took a leap to join the RCA for more innovation and creativity.
It's been a wild ride - building a venture incubated by Accenture Song now, winning the RCA Grand Challenge 2022, the Entrepreneurial Journey 2022 Grand Challenge with Imperial College London, and being a finalist in the Autonomous Vehicle Cleaning Design Challenge with BP, I've realised how much I'm passionate about my new identity as an innovator.
Another secret ingredient of my career is exploration. I’m a true global citizen with 13 years (and counting) of international experience spanning 7 countries. I’ve also explored technology incubator, law firm, impact consulting non-profit, global financial institution, early deep-tech startup and more.
Now the next adventure awaits. I'm dedicated to work at the intersection of business and design and use this powerful combination to bring futuristic innovations to life.
