After five intense years of running my successful million-dollar design agency, I hit a major roadblock. Burnout didn't just knock on my door—it barged right in and left me bedridden for three days straight. I didn't want to get up or face the world. Lying there, I thought to myself, "Okay, this is enough."

The next day, I made the tough decision to let go of all my employees. I knew I needed a break—a real one—to rethink my priorities and figure out what I truly wanted in life.

It felt like I slammed a giant reset button, letting out a big sigh that carried away years of stress and unspoken worries.

Growing up in France as a shy Asian kid in a mostly Western culture, I often felt like I didn't quite fit in. I was quiet and kept to myself. Design became my safe space—a way to express my creativity without having to say a word. But deep down, I was super ambitious, always juggling side projects and trying to "build something" meaningful.

That constant drive helped me achieve a lot, but it also led me straight into burnout.

As I lay there, I couldn't help but wonder: How does our mind work? How can I bounce back? How can I make sure this never happens again?
Those questions sparked an inward journey—a deep dive into understanding the mind and all its amazing potential. I realised that overcoming burnout wasn't just about resting; it was about transforming my mindset. I learned tools and techniques to not only help me get back but also be a better version of myself—stronger, wiser, and happier.

I believe everyone deserves to know how to utilise their mind to its fullest.
If you are like me, you want to be YOUR best self.
You want to unlock a new level of effectiveness and fulfilment.
You want to feel motivated and excited every day.
You want to feel confident and smart.
You want to prioritise what matters, manage your emotions like a boss, and build habits that support your professional and personal growth.

Join me in this journey.

This is the reason I created The Effective Mindset, a community-based hub where we share science-based resources, techniques, and habits for being our most effective selves.

We all deserve to be at our peak and to live without regrets. Because we all deserve to thrive, not just survive.

In the last 3 months, I've silently acquired a SaaS Business and been doing a complete revamp on it. I'm super keen to launch it today with a brand new face and a clear vision. 

Introducing Cromojo. Your website growth companion.

In my agency life, I've seen so many clients struggling to utilise their website to the fullest. Lack of tracking, no implementation, and no clear understanding of how it works. 

We're planning to solve that. 

We want to automate all the processes that are required to grow your website so you can focus on your business. 

We index automatically. 
We monitor your website constantly for any errors and downtime. 
We track your website with clear analytics and business insights. 
Lastly, we will feed it to the AI for weekly insights with our agency expertise.  

It's just the beginning. But I'm super excited about the mission and hope to help as many small businesses as possible. 

Let's go Cromojo! 🚀

Product Strategy
We conceptualise products that stand out with desirable features, creating concepts to demonstrate product ideas and plan product roadmaps.

User Research
In user research, I combine quantitative and qualitative methods to discover user needs and pain points, create models of user behaviour, and provide a reliable foundation for strategic decisions.

UX Design
By combining iterative design with research, I create the logic of user journeys, layouts' structure, and the interactions that make up the core of how people use the application.

UI Design
The subtle ways I use colour, typography and graphics to create a harmonious visual style come to represent an application across different platforms.

Prototyping and User Testing
I create interactive prototypes that capture the experience of a product module and use behavioural measures to discover which interaction concepts bring the best results.
