Hi, I'm Jack.
Fractional product design partner for businesses since 2009
Born in Taiwan 🇹🇼
From Australia 🇦🇺
Lives in Austria 🇦🇹
I'm a Product Designer with a passion for creating end-to-end digital solutions that are both functional and beautifully crafted. I deliver great user experiences by applying user-centred design methodologies for a global audience, across different industries, from large multinational companies to innovative startups.
I have deep experience in the Healthcare and Medical sectors. I have also worked across the Environment, Social Impact, Finance, Enterprise Systems, and Education sectors.
Utilising my (15+ years) product design and (broad) cross-sector experience, much of my work often revolves around helping teams turn product ideas into 1.0 and strategies into 2.0.
I have worked on award-winning teams recognised by the Red Dot Design Award and Good Design Australia.
