Plus65 Interactive Pte Ltd
UI/UX Lead of 5 designers
Feb 2017 — Aug 2018 (1 рік 7 місяців)

• Redesigned brand and agency website, which allowed Plus65 to stay in line with Singapore's leading digital agencies, and made the agency more attractive for the candidates and the clients.
• Conducted dozens of interviews and created a team of 5 talented designers, which is actually not an easy task in the city of merlions.
• Introduced the standards that improved a teamwork quality and results. For example, as a combination of convenience and aesthetic appeal of the interface, constant focus on users, attention to details, design system scalability, respect for developers, compelling presentation, perfect communication and copyright compliance.
• Made communication between designers, front-end developers, managers, and clients more efficient, by hooking everyone to a single Invision Enterprise platform, instead of using three separate software solutions.
• Improved the relationships between designers and front-end developers by introducing the system design. This allowed the team not to panic when the client changes the requirements, because all the main components are ready, they only need to put them together as the Lego.
• Developed a culture of knowledge sharing among designers with weekly informal meetings with coffee, presentations, and music.
• Designed the website and mobile applications of the Zazz Hotels and Resorts hotel chain, which includes two boutique hotels in Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City, and one resort on the Maldives. Challenge was to combine three hotels of different styles with the same Zazz values into one site, and to understand the operational processes of hotels.
• Designed a non-boring corporate identity and website for the new cryptocurrency DGCoin. Managed the design process of a useful DGpay application for money transfer between Southeast Asian countries. (https://zazz-hotels.com/) (https://plus65.com.sg/home)
