I’m Calvin, a UX Engineer with over 4 years of experience. My journey has taken me from interning at Kofa, where I designed user experiences for electric motorcycles, to leading design at a cutting-edge tech startup. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with various tech startups and agencies, where I’ve honed my skills in ideation, storytelling, and visual design. I’m all about sparking curiosity and believe the best way to learn is by doing—so get ready for some hands-on learning! When I’m not deep in design, I’m exploring how people interact with products or getting lost in a good book.
