Februrary 2021 - current
I collaborate and work closely with fellow UI/UX designer in the product design team, product managers and developers, supporting both internal and external platform projects. The two main desktop systems that I work on are SealCloud, our cloud computing services, and Lion City Sailors, a backend admin system for managing users for our mobile app dedicated to serve the fans of our football club. To ensure the design integrity from mockup to implementation, I follow up with a UI review using the dev tool to check and correct styling properties (CSS) to the intended design for developers to resolve.
Apart from backend systems, I support and maintain the designs for all official websites, Sea official site, SAIL (Sea AI Lab) website, as well as the personal webpage for Prof. Yan, the chief scientist for SAIL. My main role is handling new design request, providing a desktop and mobile UI documentation as the source of truth for developers. On top of the scope of the static UI design, I would prototype the snippets of website using online sandbox code editor such as CodePen to demonstrate the responsive behavior and animation (if required) for the developers' reference.
I also support the motion aspect of our design system, 'Coral'. I designed and set up a website where I'm able to prototype UI motion using the animation library 'React Spring'. I experiment with different configurations to achive the best effect for each UI component whenever motion is necessary. I also has a motion guideline page set up in order to keep the look and feel consistent.

June 2015 - Aug 2016
Work closely with the art director to create 3D animation of a short-animated film for a research project. Mainly tasked with animating short gestures and posing characters in key scenes according to the 2D storyboard composition.
Create and explore solutions to achieve visual effects required in the film, such as burrowing effect, combining rigid body with Maya's particle emission to create a result that mimics the real world. Fix and improve character's rigs to improve character's deformity for animation.
