ABOUT


Hello! My name is Mengya Hao, but most people call me Mia. I am a brand and product designer with a passion for art. I hold a Master's degree in Graphic Branding and bring years of industry experience to my work.

As a curious and creative individual, my goal is to enhance user experiences through clean, functional, and aesthetically pleasing design. Whether it's digital, print, or brand-related projects, I strive to create design solutions that are both effective and visually appealing.

Aside from design, photography is another outlet for me to explore and connect with the world. I am proud to have my work recognized by international and domestic publications, such as New Weekly, Lens Academy, Sony, Marie Claire, and more. My photography has also been exhibited in numerous prestigious venues, including Jimei × Arles International Photo Festival, Three Shadows Xiamen Photography Art Centre, Shenzhen Sea World Culture and Arts Center, Chengdu Contemporary Image Museum, and others. 

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to connecting with you.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Green Link Digital Bank - Greenland Singapore × Linklogis
At Linklogis, I took the lead on analyzing their international product offerings, identifying areas for improvement, and collaborating with the engineering team to develop effective solutions. In just six months, I was able to create the Link UI-international design system, which became the foundation for our international product design team. As the head of the design team, I worked closely with cross-functional teams across the mainland, Hong Kong, and Singapore to deliver the internal management system for GL Bank with exceptional quality and efficiency. My leadership and attention to detail helped ensure the successful launch of this critical system.

Olea Fintech Platforms - Standard Chartered × Linklogis
At Olea Supply Chain Fintech, I took on the challenge of completing a groundbreaking design project from start to finish in just four months. As the lead designer, I oversaw the visual and interactive design of the Investor Portal, Supplier Portal, and part of the Internal Portal. With a focus on problem-solving from a design perspective, I collaborated with cross-border teams to bring the project to life. My contributions resulted in a successful launch that received positive feedback from both users and the company.
