One of the roadblocks I faced was presenting my design decisions and communicating effectively with a diverse range of stakeholders across Marvel, Pixar, and Disney, each with unique requirements and feedback. I learned to actively listening to stakeholder concerns, and incorporating their feedback into iterative design processes while maintain my design decisions.

Disney was my first experience in such a global environment, and it required me to be highly attentive to cultural nuances and user preferences across various regions. I conducted extensive research and collaborated with local teams to ensure that our products resonated with users worldwide. This experience significantly enhanced my cultural sensitivity and my ability to design for a global audience.

Disney is also an unique experience because the position was based in Singapore, allowing me to step out of my comfort zone, moving away from the US and Vietnam to live in Singapore for 6 months. Adapting to a new culture and environment presented its own set of challenges, from navigating local customs to adjusting to a different pace of life. This experience broadened my perspective and enhanced my adaptability and resilience.
