David Chan

I'm a designer and developer who bridges the gap between design and engineering. With 15+ years of experience across fintech, SaaS, and ecommerce, I build products that look great and work even better.

I believe in Dieter Rams' "Less, but better" — good design isn't about decoration, it's about solving real problems elegantly.

I prototype, I code, and I ship. If you want to talk product, design systems, or running, let's chat.
