Lester Tan Wan Jern
I'm a product designer and frontend developer with more than 7 years of experience. I bring ideas to life and focus on execution and delivering results.
I believe that in today's fast-changing world, a career should continuously evolve. That's why I like to divide my career into different phases, giving each a name to focus on specific areas and skillsets.
2016 - 2019
Years of building foundation through self-learning
After dropping out from the first year of design college, I acquired foundational coding skills through online self-learning, along with practical experience on various projects.
2019 - 2022
Years of focused execution, creating from 0 to 1
After becoming proficient in my skill set, I provided design and coding services to various well-known companies across different industries, including newspapers, hotels, and education. Some of these companies include 500 Startups, Oriental Daily News, and others. I have the ability to take projects from ideation (0) to execution (1), encompassing planning, design, and development. My work has been used by millions of people, and I have created two apps, each with over 10,000 and 50,000 downloads, respectively, and both have received ratings of 4.5 or higher.
2022 - Present
Years of positioning as a design leader for the next 3 years
Since 2022, I have been the Principal Product Designer for a startup company, positioning myself as a product and design leader for the next 3 years and enhancing my skills in planning, leadership, management and storytelling. I want to use design to make the world a better place for us to live.
