From strategy to screens: aligning teams, simplifying the rules and shipping experiences that just work.

Driver Quality: helping drivers improve with clear guidance

Quality rules were scattered and the brief was unclear. Instead of designing around the complexity, I challenged it: I proposed a simpler framework and shaped the strategy with Product, cutting quality ceilings from 2 → 1, so drivers can see where they stand and improve.

About me

From Da Nang to Saigon to Singapore, I now lead product design at Grab.

Over 15+ years in fintech and e-commerce, I've gone from web design to leading payments, lending and loyalty work used by millions across Southeast Asia.

Designing for consumers, merchants and drivers means I see the whole journey, not just one screen, and I turn that view into measurable outcomes.

My multimedia degree from Saigon University gave me a background in film, 3D and animation, so I still bring motion into my prototypes. Outside work I paint in oil and hand-letter wedding invitations for friends.
