Ivy´s Education

Ivy @ Su Hnin Eain studied in Yangon University Economics in Myanmar back then and due to political instability she changed to study BBA in Digital Innovation (GPA 3.8) (Assumption University Thailand) and transferred due to scholarship to do her studies in Interaction Design at University of Thai Chamber of Commerce @ Harbour.Space University (Barcelona), deepening her expertise at the intersection of design, UX, and entrepreneurship.

Her education spans practical design, product thinking, and behavioral insights, equipping her to both create and teach with clarity, empathy, and strategy.

Career & Startups

Ivy started her professional journey early. At the age of 17, she founded Y Digital Hub, a youth-led social enterprise focused on empowering young people through digital skills and real-world projects. Through Y Digital Hub, Ivy worked with well-known brands including Samsung, gaining hands-on experience in partnerships, project delivery, and impact-driven work.

She then spent two years in the education industry, working as an Operations Officer and Project Manager in Hysan Education . 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.

Building on her combined background in business, operations, and design, Ivy later co-founded Refresh, a branding agency that supports small and medium enterprises in clarifying their brand, product experience, and go-to-market strategy.

Today, Ivy works at Futura School as a Product Owner and Operations Officer, where she leads product development while overseeing operations — bringing together design, strategy, and execution to build meaningful and accessible learning experiences.

Early Career

Su Hnin Eain began her career in education, working as an English tutor while supporting academic programs and student learning. During this period, she taught English to students from diverse backgrounds and worked closely with learners to improve their communication, confidence, and academic performance.

Alongside tutoring, she gained hands-on experience working in the education sector, supporting learning operations, coordinating academic activities, and understanding how students learn, struggle, and succeed. This early exposure to education shaped her strong interest in learning design, accessibility, and student-centered experiences.

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

Nan Oo

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.
