I leverage design as a catalyst for change

When brands like DBS, Amgen, or Deloitte Digital needed design leadership from concept to completion through an open and collaborative process, they turned to mvdm. Leading innovation projects requires balancing creativity and strategy while staying adaptable to new ideas. We'll go from zero to one by thinking strategically about your business goals and delivering a common-sense product your customers will want to use.

Our collaboration will tackle complex problems together, from planning to execution. I ensure your brand resonates with both clients and employees, capturing their emotions and thoughts across different cultures. I don’t just work with anyone, I focus on four elite programs a year and only taking on clients that have excellent engineers, and a leadership that is bought into making change happen.

I speed up decision making, collaboration and alignment

When top companies like Chanel and Johnson & Johnson, or Institutions such as the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE), needed to make change happen, they turn to mvdm for design seminars. Atlassian found that 97% of meetings are ineffective, making it hard for teams to achieve their goals. I lead engaging, hands-on sessions that combine strategic understanding with practical exercises, helping your team harness the power of design thinking and make every meeting productive. We'll collaboratively gather your leadership to understand their shared mission, strategy, and objectives to agree on what they and their teams need to do to reach them.

My sessions translate creative ideas into tangible outcomes by taking into account the practical considerations and limitations of the business. So you can implement new ideas. We'll uncover ideas to drive growth, design what your product will look like in six months to a year, and break down how to get there quickly. We'll figure out which new ideas to test and which recently shipped features to iterate on to raise the bar, help scale, and solve real user problems. We focus on giving you control of your brand and, no matter who uses it, the ability to create on-brand content—saving your marketing team hundreds of hours.

I mature your organization to listen, measure and act on insights

When Standard Chartered, ExxonMobil or TribalDDB needed to establish UX/CX design standards and strategies that reflect their values and vision, they enlisted mvdm to integrate design foundational capabilities into their business. My Design Excellence (DX) service elevates design maturity across the organization, ensuring every touchpoint is cohesive and compelling.

This practice is programmatic in scale as it aims to embed best practices, tools, workflows and methodologies across your teams, setting the foundation for your organization to listen, measure, and act on insights. In turn, organizations become customer-focused, employee-focused, data-driven, and digitally fluent.

Due to the sensitive nature of my design projects, they are covered by non-disclosure agreements. While I can't share detailed information here, I may be able to discuss the problem, methodology, and results in a conversation — if appropriate. This will be at my discretion as I prioritize respecting the confidentiality of my work and clients. What I can share is that my clients get game-changing results, with the recognition and awards following naturally. Connect with me here or on LinkedIn to find out more.
