About me

Hi, I'm Shaun, a product designer and developer passionate about crafting exceptional user experiences and driving product development. With a decade of professional experience under my belt,  I thrive on the challenges that arise in these fast-paced industries, constantly seeking innovative solutions that bridge the gap between user needs and business objectives.


One of the core principles that guides my design process is the fusion of human-centered design and quantitative data. By understanding the unique perspectives and goals of users, I ensure that every product I design is intuitive, engaging, and tailored to their needs. At the same time, I leverage the power of data-driven insights to inform my decision-making, employing user analytics and market research to validate design choices and optimize user experiences.


My diverse experience spans various sectors, including the gaming industry. This immersive and ever-evolving field has allowed me to cultivate a deep understanding of user motivations, preferences, and behaviors. I have also embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, founding and leading a startup where I serve as the head of product and tech. This role has provided me with invaluable insights into the intricacies of managing and developing a product from concept to launch. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, I have gained expertise in strategic product planning, agile development methodologies, and technology integration.


In conclusion, my portfolio reflects a decade of passion, dedication, and innovation in the field of Product Design. With a focus on merging human-centered design with quantitative data, I strive to create products that not only meet user needs but also drive business success. From my extensive experience in the gaming industry to my role as the head of product and tech in a startup, I bring a diverse skill set and a holistic approach to every project. I am excited to collaborate, innovate, and contribute to the creation of impactful user experiences that shape the future of products.
