Coins by Bamboo (our V1.0)
We began our journey as “Coins by Bamboo,” built on the principles of efficiency, ease, and trust. From the start, our focus was on delivering a seamless and transparent user experience—one that empowered users to confidently convert and manage their funds. By offering competitive rates, intuitive design, and clear communication at every step, we quickly earned the trust of our users. Today, we've grown to become their preferred platform for currency conversion and cross-border transactions, setting a new standard for convenience and reliability.2024
Building on the success of version 1, we evolved the brand identity to reflect a bolder, more dynamic presence—one that could resonate with a rapidly growing and increasingly diverse user base. What began as a product serving just two countries expanded into more than 15 markets, and the new identity was designed to match that scale: vibrant, confident, and deeply representative of our users’ ambition and energy.This rebrand was more than visual—it was embedded in a complete app redesign and a refreshed suite of supporting products. The result was remarkable: within just two months of launch, we onboarded over twice as many new users as we had in the previous five months combined. The transformation not only enhanced brand perception, but also accelerated growth, engagement, and trust across regions.Misan by Bamboo (our V2.0)

Virtual Cards
I led the design of a virtual USD card product built to offer users a secure, convenient, and accessible solution for making online payments. The product was designed to provide full control over spending—allowing users to fund, freeze, and manage their cards directly from their mobile devices—while benefiting from competitive exchange rates.The experience focused on simplicity, trust, and transparency, making it especially valuable for users navigating cross-border payments and international subscriptions. Within just two months of launch, the product recorded over 4,000 transactions totaling more than $152,000, demonstrating strong early adoption and clear demand in the market.2025
