Hello, nice to meet you! :)

I’m Denzel, currently a product designer at Singapore’s Government Technology Agency (GovTech). I returned to the GatherSG team at GovTech after previously completing an internship on the same team. Here, I’m doing UX design and research for the Feedback Management System, a case and customer relationship management platform built for the whole-of-government, which handles lots of complex, data-dense information.

I’m concurrently in my final semester at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and on track to complete my Bachelor’s in systems engineering in January 2027.

I love design because I love working with people and for people. The job of a designer is to solve problems that make people’s lives better, and I genuinely enjoy the craft, the creative problem-solving aspect, and the ability to use technology to build meaningful and delightful solutions. I especially enjoy that a large part of the job is communication in all its different forms.

I stumbled upon product design entirely by accident, during a 12-week summer internship programme at a local bank, where we summer interns were tasked with tackling a UX project while being mentored by the bank’s UX team. That was my first introduction to UX, product, and design. Solving a problem step by step through these lenses opened my eyes to a discipline that felt both exciting and deeply aligned with the way I naturally approach problems.

After this unexpected start, I found a passion for design and pursued a couple more internships, at GovTech followed by Google. I’m beyond grateful for the wide range of experiences they gave me, which have expanded my perspectives, sharpened my craft, and shown me the kind of designer I want to be.

Outside of design, I love music. You’ll often find me jamming, busking or performing with my band, or just listening to and discovering new music! It’s as much of a creative outlet for me as design is, and a great way to unwind.

Please feel free to reach out anytime about anything; I would love to have a chat with you!
