👋 Hi! I'm Alan. Thanks for stopping by!
A product creator at heart, I discovered product design & prototyping as my passion when I competed in my first hackathon back in 2014. I have since been a serial hackathoner and startup/lab co-founder, having won over 10 hackathons and design awards.
As I dabble in both design and engineering, I craft experiences across platforms including spatial ARVR, mobile, web, to IOT and hardware. I enjoy designing towards the opportunities and constraints of each platform.
I’ve since worked on 0-1 projects across various industry verticals throughout research, concept, to MVP and production. I thrive in dynamic, collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams and am familiar with agile start-up, innovation lab and consulting environments.
I am always open for collaborations, conversations or opportunities! Please reach me at mail@alanng.me.
