Communicative and doesn't beat around the bush to share with you what works and what won't.

Zack Yap

Head of Product, Xfers

One of the characteristics I valued most about Thye was his openness in doing what’s needed to achieve better outcomes. He is also responsible, committed and driven to create value which makes our collaboration an enriching experience.

Stanly Lau

Software Development Coach/Mentor, Odd-e

Thye exudes empathy for the people around him, and he serves to help you or your team become introspective and positive. He creates a space for teams to communicate better and self-regulate themselves to overcome their obstacles.

Winston Teo

Engineering Lead, Shopify (Singapore)

Thye worked with us as a designer at the beginning, but he grew into a team coach. His ability to bond with others, start conversations, identify problems and lead them to solutions has contributed to a stronger mobile app team at SPdigital. I value him as he isn't afraid to speak about his problems at work, and it makes me feel okay to talk about my own experiences too.

Chang Sau Sheong

CEO, SP Digital - SP Group

Thye is a strong UX Designer and Agile Coach who isn’t afraid to speak his mind on design approaches and the challenges faced at work. He has an extreme passion in facilitation and always aims to surface and solve problems across different people and teams in the organisation. Thye's sociable and high energy helps to build stronger bonds with his colleagues beyond just work. This makes Thye a valuable colleague and good friend to have.

Chong Yao Long

Principal Experience Designer, SP Digital - SP Group

Thye is proactive in anticipating team needs during execution; he is a natural leader in mitigating issues and encouraging team members to strive for success with an open-minded culture. I would recommend Thye to any organisation that need an active team player and the ability to influence and change how teams work together.

Jona Neo

Product Director, SP Digital - SP Group

I’ve known Thye for 7 years and worked as a colleague with him for close to 2 years. It is mainly during that period when we worked together; we got to know each other better. I got to meet the version of him who is always willing to help others. He offered everyone - people who knew, and he didn't know - his advice when they needed it.

Sometimes he had the solution which he gave, and sometimes just having him to listen was enough.

I can recall at least two instances where he offered to speak to me after noticing I was stressed and going through a tough time. He offered to walk with me and shared his thoughts. During that 30 mins walk or so, I found he cared for me as a colleague and as a friend. But this is also true for everyone whom he knows in his life.

He is honest with his opinion and doesn't hesitate to speak out when he disagrees. It is this nature of Thye that makes him unique from others. A lot of people I know are willing to adjust and suffer with their circumstances. Whereas Thye is willing to take action and improve the environment for him and the people who are in that environment.

People like Thye can bring positive energies to wherever they go and can lift the spirit of others around them. I am blessed that I got to know him and his actions and suggestions have a massive impact on my life in a positive way.
