After a decade of a professional software engineering career in the web/mobile app industry, I started a new journey in service design at the RCA to develop my critical thinking and user-centred design expertise. The design skills built at the RCA and my professional engineering experience enable me to engage in service development from many aspects from the beginning to the end: from user research, ideation, and prototyping to implementation. I continue contributing to the growth of the start-up service as a design engineer. With these unique skillsets, I continue contributing to the growth of start-up services.
Portray is a web-based service which helps a team onboard new members and builds meaningful relationships by encouraging informal communication and building members' profiles through the conversation. It works on the chat tool you typically use, such as Slack or MS Teams, along with web apps, so you can start using it smoothly without switching anything you are used to, just by adding Portray app to your existing communication tool.

Organisations need to design the way of remote care.
Furthermore, this issue will remain even after the pandemic as many professionals want their company to let them work remotely and some will quit otherwise. A good remote work environment won't be a temporary but permanent competence for organisations.
I will work on my final project with this theme, exploring a range of future related to remote working: from new ways of remote collaboration to well-being with a remote environment.
