LinkedIn Profile

"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would've said faster horses." - Don Norman

Ysanne is an inquisitive and adaptable individual with a big heart for others. Her design process is characterised by tactful and extensive user study, because she believes that​ desirable and effective systems support natural human behaviour. She is competent in developing pivotal user insights that translate into design solutions that align with stakeholders and users. She is a change-maker with a keen eye for User Interaction and Experience (UIUX) design; whose keen interest lies in streamlining complex systems and Science to enrich society. As a human advocate, she strongly believes that joy is the core driver of sustainable behaviour change and strives to be a vessel for nurturing support. 

There's a high chance you might find her grazing in a cafe with her laptop on the side. While it may appear that she is evaluating the world as it goes by, she probably wouldn't mind sharing a good time over conversations about Food, Health or Design. 

Notable Works  

In 2020, she designed an App in partnership with National University of Singapore (NUS) Healthy Campus Initiative (HCI) that would encourage students to make healthier food choices for themselves. The concept was built on behavioural science, to inform nudge techniques that would increase self-efficacy. This self directed project - NutriSmart - was her first foray into Design for Public Health.

She has also designed a rehabilitation device for stroke patients (Oni, 2019), that increased their motivation and engagement in performing therapy exercises. Her ability to develop pivotal user insights has benefitted various communities and stakeholders. 


Her Passion Projects

Work aside, Ysanne finds herself exploring various ways to serve and bring joy to people. She has volunteered on a farm, contributed crafts for charity, and explored healthy baking to provide for different needs. She now runs a humble little home-based bakery that specialises in wholesome, gluten-free zucchini cakes, created from her own recipe from 2019. She is also a certified Holistic Health Coach. She graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, equipped with knowledge, skills, and the love to guide and empower individuals to live nourishing, happier lives.
