UX Generalist

As a UX generalist, I was involved in all aspects of the design process from user research, conceptual design, prototyping, design execution and design stewardship. For 3 years, I had gained considerable experience working with diverse internal and external stakeholders in Australia, the United States, and Japan. Typically, I solicited design requirements by working together with end-users through to C-suite stakeholders. To derive solutions, I closely collaborated with business development, engineering and data science teams.

Joining HIVERY as the first in-house designer, I had the opportunity to work across products of various stages. Later as the design team grew, I focused on HIVERY Enhance, an AI-powered application optimising product assortment for vending machine fleets.

Besides product development, I initiated several ad-hoc projects that were crucial for the entire product teams. These include developing a design system and creating design principles that help guide our decisions in conceiving, developing, and managing AI-based products.

The work at HIVERY is NDA-protected.

Goodbye

I left the company in February 2020 to pursue a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction. Words do not suffice to express how grateful I am to all the colleagues I had the chance to learn from and the leadership team that empowered me to grow and contribute.
