CHALLENGE

Defining and delivering digital products and services

Ming Labs is a design consultancy located in Berlin. As a Business Designer, I worked with Germany’s leading corporations across industries to ideate, design, and validate products/services, from early-stage value propositions to detailed product interactions.

In my role, I led user research throughout the design process, from exploratory to evaluative studies in order to identify opportunity areas for new product propositions as well as customer experience improvements. I was also involved in designing and testing low-fi prototypes to assess detailed interactions.
