Secrets to Success.

My secrets? The undeniable power of the first step.

Big thanks to Felix Lee, Founder of ADPList, and Chris Do, Founder of The Futur, for their inspiring session. Echoing what’s said in the sessions, Han shared that same beliefs.

“If you're uncertain, say ‘Yes’. Just take that first step—one leads to another, opening doors to countless possibilities,” said Han.

Han, a seasoned User Experience Design (UED) leader, exemplifies the transformative power of that initial move. Aligning with his belief in "The Power of the First Step,"

Han’s career journey is a testament to embracing new challenges and taking those crucial first steps. From making his mark in Asia with international brands like Samsung, Midea, Philips, Autodesk, and HP—where he honed his UED skills—to his current role at Dyson in the UK, Han has consistently taken bold steps that have propelled him forward.

What began two decades ago with designing simple iconography for a 16x16, 8-bit, 256-color system tray bar has evolved into holding key positions, managing complex design systems, innovating for smart IoT, securing multiple patents, and mentoring young talent at some of the world’s leading technology companies.

Just a few weeks ago, Han joined ADPList as a Design Mentor, committed to nurturing the next generation of designers. He’s also taking a step into being virtual speaker, with a pending application for an opportunity at the BeMore Festival 2024, presented by ADPList. In October, Han will join 30 other design leaders in the Design Leader Exchange at the World Usability Congress 2024, thanks to Hannes Robier. Additionally, Han is applying to serve as a judge for the London Design Awards. These are just the beginning.

The founding of HandeoDesign marks a significant milestone in Han’s career, serving as a platform where he continues to innovate and inspire. Guided by the same principle that has driven him from the start—the power of the first step—Han is eager to share his experiences and insights, hoping to encourage others to embark on their own journeys toward success.

Reflecting on his career, Han is excited to share how those initial steps have shaped his path and how they can empower others to achieve their dreams. If Han had never taken those first steps, none of this would have been possible. Whether you’re just starting out or preparing for your next big move, Han’s story is a powerful reminder that every great achievement begins with a single step.

If you’re uncertain about where to start, take that first step by connecting with Han through his mentorship sessions at ADPList and discover how he can help you on your journey. Book here
