I build service design capability across startups, corporates, and national policy spanning multiple industries and geographies.
With 7 years of experiences across Asia, UK, and Europe, I work fluidly between executive, economist, and policymaker, earning their trust in design approaches. From strategy to pixels, I'm capable across management, UX/UI, and coding.
My work has been recognised as Emerging Leader by the World Economic Forum, One Young World, and the Schwab Foundation. I hold a graduate degree from the Royal College of Art, on a full scholarship.

People say that....

I had the pleasure of tutoring Plu during his time in the Service Design programme at the Royal College of Art, and he consistently stood out as an exemplary student. Plu brought remarkable commitment and work ethic to every project he undertook. What particularly impressed me was his genuinely positive attitude, even when tackling complex design challenges. He approached his work with infectious enthusiasm that elevated not just his own output, but the energy of those around him. Beyond his academic work, Plu actively sought out opportunities to grow and contribute. He engaged meaningfully in both curricular activities and extracurricular initiatives, demonstrating a genuine curiosity and desire to expand his capabilities as a designer. This proactive approach to learning showed a maturity and self-direction that will serve him exceptionally well in his career. Plu would be a valuable addition to any team looking for a dedicated and committed service designer who combines technical skill with a collaborative spirit and positive outlook. I recommend him without reservation.

I highly recommend Paul for any design role. With a wealth of experience in product and service design, he brings a unique perspective and ability to think outside of the box. Not only is he a skilled designer, but he is also a great team player and fun to work with. His interesting sense of humour and hardworking nature add a positive dynamic to any team and project. Paul headed up the quantitative research for our product and produced excellent reports. He is also responsible for our design system, which he has done with a keen eye and lots of passion.
