About me 🇭🇰
About me 🇭🇰
In the past 10+ years, I have the pleasure to live in Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore. This has given me the experience to work for different markets such as India, Dubai, UK, Canada, Philippines, Korea, Singapore, China, Australia, Hong Kong, and more.
I enjoy my work as a creative problem solver, whether it was having a funny picture exhibitoin taken by the client's team throughout my engagement, or initiating a virtual fire pit meeting with the team in HOT Singapore summer just because our Air-Con is freezing like Christmas. In my leisure, I lived a very active life jogging, cycling, hiking, and diving! (or coming diving and cycling as suggested by the picture.) In recent years, I extended my hobby of photography to underwater photography which exposed me to another world of adventure.
“Yu Shing always puts users first and redefines the profession. He's extremely dedicated, dependable and knows his craft - on top of that, he always tries to share his knowledge with others. He is relentless in his pursuit to deliver the best experience to the user, which makes him a joy to work with. His confidence, skills and most importantly mindset make him a great professional who won't shy away from challenging you.”
“It had been a real privilege to have worked alongside Yu Shing for projects that varies over several industries. His insights and experience turning pure business needs into enjoyable user experience has not stopped impressing me enough! Yu Shing has definitely shown expertise in understanding users and it had been a joyful experience working with him.”
“Yu Shing is one of the most passionate UX design thinkers I've had the pleasure of working with. He approaches every challenge with energy and enthusiasm, always seeking to push those around him, be it his team, the business, the client, or himself. His understanding of digital and desire to deliver the best customer-centric solution makes Yu Shing a formidable force.
As a design lead, Yu Shing is very well informed, eager to push the boundaries, and willing to push back only when necessary. He is always looking for ways to mentor and help people around him to achieve their goals. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Yu Shing again, as he delivers great results, high energy, and lots of laughs.”
“YuShing consistently demonstrated his skills as a UX practitioner. Tight turn arounds, last minute changes, difficult conversations, but always providing instrumental empirical evidence and fascinating insight from which the client was truly grateful for.”
Apart from my day job, I am very passionate about engaging the UX or Design community through public speaking and mentoring, as well as attending or helping out different events. I am a regular for some industry events like Service Design Hong Kong where I get to meet experts from all over the world annually. And I am a supporter to grow the UX and Design thinking culture from the ground up, partnering with NTU to organize design event open to non-design students.
