In this role, Ivy managed programs end-to-end, coordinated cross-functional teams, and ensured projects were delivered smoothly — strengthening her skills in operations, leadership, and systems thinking.

As her interest shifted toward problem-solving through design, Ivy transitioned into UX/UI design, working while in the university as a freelance designer . During this period, she collaborated with clients to design user-centered digital products, bridging user needs with business goals.

This early exposure to education shaped her strong interest in learning behavioural psychology, accessibility, and human-centered experiences.

These formative years built the foundation for her later work in design, marketing, and creative, where she continues to focus on clarity, empathy, and real-world impact.

Digital Marketing Trainer | CEO @ Futura

Ivy is the kind of person who makes you wonder if she's secretly cloned herself. I mean, running two companies and studying full-time? Most people can barely remember to water their plants. She joined my Full Stack Digital Marketing Bootcamp, and she wasn’t just active—she was actually executing the lessons on her business. One of those students who asks all the right questions and then turns around and builds something amazing with the answers.

She’s got this killer combo of business savvy, design smarts, and tech know-how that makes her a force to be reckoned with. If you're looking for someone who sits between business, design and tech, Ivy’s your person.
