I’m searching for new opportunities in Brisbane, Singapore, or remotely.
It’s 2024; I’ve been UX certified by Nielson Norman Group (NN/g), taking other UX research courses – Jobs to be done. I’m a freelance UX designer/researcher working on multiple projects.
Hi there! I’m Aidil, pronounced [ide-al]—a UX design researcher based in the sunny city of Brisbane, Australia, originally from Singapore.
With over 5 years of experience in UX, possessing a strong foundation in UX research and a master’s in User Experience. My expertise extends to employing diverse research methods, ensuring a comprehensive approach to understanding user needs and behaviours.
How I got here
My journey into UX began during my IT diploma in 2013 when I delved into Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Initially, I didn’t realise the vast opportunities in this field, but a few years later, during my degree, I took on the role of UX designer for a group project. That experience immersed me in the world of UX, sparking my interest and commitment to the discipline. I further enhanced my skills by completing several online certifications during my undergraduate studies and eventually pursued and earned my postgraduate degree in UX in 2019.
Over the years, I’ve had some fantastic experiences working in start-ups, digital agencies, education, and non-profit organizations.
My previous role
In my previous job, I had a blast at a Sports IT company, where I got to be creative in designing athlete management systems for mobile and tablet devices. Plus, I played a crucial role in the new Integration team, ensuring data from different devices smoothly joined forces in our systems.
Other stuff
Outside work, I enjoy diving into new knowledge, staying active with workouts – Calisthenics, and immersing myself in books and learning new and trying out new things. On the language front, I can converse in English, Malay, and Arabic. Sometimes, I daydream about having a ‘Matrix ‘-style knowledge plug for instant downloads, but deep down, I appreciate the journey of striving and persisting in learning. It’s a bit like a paddy seed—getting heavier and humbling itself along the way.
