Hello! I’m Ted Lee, a UX/UI designer based in Manila.
➡️ About Me:
A little bit about my history. I started my UX journey when I took General Assembly’s 10-week User Experience Design Immersive boot camp in New York back in October of 2017.
I started my UX career working for GCash, a Philippine-based e-wallet start-up as its third team member. It was where I learned my foundations; and it was one crazy, fun, amazing roller coaster: I got to design different product features including different financial services, a virtual forest, and a lot of money transfer use cases; helped reimagine our Messenger chatbot experience, and to had been part of the team to work on the GCash app rebrand. I got to work with an amazing team of designers, researchers, and tech folk, as well as guidance from counterparts from Alipay’s Global User Experience Design Team, learning from their best practices from their other e-wallet ventures across SEA.
Later on, I moved on to First Circle, where I got to work on more B2B and web-based platforms for MSME Financing, where I worked on the launch of the Revolving Credit Line among other things. And currently, I’m a Product Researcher for Delivery Hero, where I work on different research topics for EU and APAC markets uncovering user pain points and understanding behaviors.
A designer at heart, I’m someone who likes to make sure that things look nice, are easy to read, and as much as possible, something that makes sense. I see design as a medium of communication and I strive to balance aesthetics with functionality to create purposeful designs. I find excitement in the puzzle-solving, crafting meaningful solutions, and trying to deliver and create value through human-centered design.
Outside of work things, I’ve recently been into indoor cycling, hand embroidery, and slowly going through all of BA Kitchen’s pasta recipes on the weekends.
