I design.Then I ship it.

I design in Figma and I prototype in code, so the handoff that usually loses the design is a step I do not have. React and Next.js on top; Node, Postgres and Mongo when the product needs a back end.

Recommendations

"Ridiculously meticulous" is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Min Ern. Time after time, his attention to detail and keen sense of design polish brings life to the projects we deliver as a team. His strong aesthetic sense and design acuity helps us visualise products early on in the product pipeline, and he never fails to impress with unique motion elements and effects to bring more oomph to the prototypes we build.

I had the pleasure of working with Min Ern at DigiPen SIT and was thoroughly impressed by his attention to detail and keen eye for UI design. Min Ern is an extremely meticulous designer who always goes above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of a project is executed to perfection. He is also a great team player and is always willing to collaborate to ensure the project is delivered on time.

About

I own problems end to end - research, interaction design, interface, and the front-end code that ships it - which means I prototype real interactions instead of handing off static screens.

I was the founding designer on PokPok Protocol, a live options trading platform, where I turned a complex financial product into something first-time traders could actually use. Before that I led user research at GovTech Singapore. I've run research that shaped product roadmaps, built and maintained design systems, and shipped full-stack apps in React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I hold a BA in User Experience and Game Design and a diploma in Game Design and Development.

Based in Singapore. If you need someone who can own the problem past the mockup, let's talk.
