Hellooo – I'm Tyla
Product Designer at Podium.io. I bridge brand vision and product thinking to create purposeful experiences.
Senior Product Designer at Podium.io. Building a tool that revolutionises building buildings.
I turn complexity into intuitive, scalable experiences – mostly in digital products, but occasionally in the real world. I bring structure to ambiguity, shaping ideas into thoughtful products with a pinch of delight. With over a decade of experience across start-ups and MNCs, I collaborate cross-functionally from discovery through delivery.
I am especially passionate about creating products that help people do their best work.
When I’m not conjuring new feature flows, you’ll catch me sketching gift ideas, hunting down a great cup of coffee or admiring beautiful lettering.

The Spark & School
Singapore Design Festival convinced my younger self that design could save the world. I ditched social work ambition, dabbled in Photoshop and left JC for design school. I lost sleep (and blood on 45 deg blades) but gained some of my favourite years.

The First Grind
Debut to working life – I discovered the thrill (and terror) of revitalising and creating brands, swallowed feedback that bruised my fragile adolescent ego then, and pushed through iterations and focus groups.

Getting Schooled by Life
Hungry to learn, I threw myself into internships, working across cultures, using Adobe suite in traditional Chinese and somehow created campaigns for brands before knowing what they are.

Hustle Years
After university at Glasgow School of Art, I landed freelance gigs before graduating and found myself in a year where even my hustles were hustling. I taught foundation design back at Temasek Poly, worked part-time at a tech startup and ran my own studio, juggling clients and projects across all disciplines.

Trials by (agency) Fires
Designed monthly publications and exhibitions; led campaigns and teams. Each day was fire fighting and racing deadlines so tight they squeaked louder than my back.
