I’m a storyteller at heart — bringing people, places, and purpose into focus through thoughtful design. It’s how I turn “what ifs” into “why nots,” and ideas into experiences that matter. With a background in branding and UI/UX design, I’ve worked with companies like foodpanda, DBS, and Shopee to bring big (and small) ideas to life — across screens, spaces, and even cute tote bags.

More recently, I’ve been dabbling in Agentic AI and prompt engineering — exploring how intelligent systems can move from passive tools to proactive collaborators. From designing AI-powered workflows to crafting structured prompts that guide LLMs toward meaningful outputs, I’m excited about shaping how humans and AI build together.

I’m especially curious about the intersection of AI, product, and design strategy — where logic meets storytelling. If you’re into design, silly Figma file names, and building things that make people go “oooh”, we’ll get along just fine!

Pei Chin is a multidisciplinary designer based in Singapore.
