In every complex problem, there's a simple human truth. My mission is to find that signal in the noise and build products, experiences, and communities around it.

    I'm the founder of Mind Made, based in Hong Kong. I lower the technical barrier to innovation — for teams, for communities, and for anyone with an idea they want to build.

    About

    Sharon facilitating a How Might We workshop

    My journey began with deconstructing arguments in Philosophy, evolved into uncovering motivations as a Market Researcher, and learning to tell stories as a Creative Copywriter. Today, I'm the founder of Mind Made, obsessed with one question: What amazing things would people build if the technical barrier was zero? I bridge the gap between human-centric design and fast, accessible tech. I currently split my time between designing digital products and building the communities that use them.

    "The secret sauce is to bring in a Catalyst. A talent who understands the power of #Facilitation... One who isn't afraid to #Question the status quo... I see the importance of a #ServiceDesigner as the key to connect Tech, Ops, and Content (Product). Sharon embodies what I always believe: Good Design is Good Business."
