    Gabriel Cheong Experience Design · managed Lydia directly, 2021
  • Being in a hackathon team without any business counterpart, Lydia took the lead in creating the pitching deck and script. She also encouraged other members to contribute at their comfort. Our team wouldn’t have received the special award without her enthusiasm, leadership, and design.
