Product Design
Mercatus
As a UX designer, Mercatus was the first company where I got to work with a dedicated design team, and it made such a difference being able to share and exchange ideas. Here I was given countless opportunities to learn and contribute on design, from end to end product design cycle, design system, to collaborate closely with stakeholders and experiencing the excitement of launching a product.

UX Research
Leveraging Data
It is important to leverage data to understand the user behaviour. We relay on Google Analytics and Hotjar to analyze user interactions, identify bounce rate and track key performance indicators like Cart Abandonment Rate.
User Interviews
To validate our ideas, we conduct user testing through the platform like UserTesting. These sessions allows us to gather direct feedback, identity pain points, and refine our solutions based on real feedback, before we start coding the feature.
Baymard Institute
Baymard Institute is a UX research institute that provides best practices guidelines, and it is used by 29,000+ UX professionals in big tech companies. We reference Baymard’s UX insights when we solution.

App Store reviews are checked regularly to find opportunities and misses. Thanks to the user who spent time writing the reviews, our team were able to gather and ship those small but meaningful updates.
