I reimagine experiences for ambitious products.

I am Aen, a software product designer.

From 2003, I made Flash and CSS websites and rode the Web 2.0 wave. From 2008, I started focusing on UI and UX and helped launch software products for businesses in various industries.

These are some of the companies and brands I have created for.
