Hello!

I'm Christie Lau

I am a senior designer and design thought leadership lead at Capco, a  financial services consultancy. I find joy in working with a diverse set of clients, from financial corporations to start-ups.

When I'm away from my desk, you'll likely find me at a climbing gym or cycling towards one. My favourite drink is matcha.

I also devote time to Tamar Westminster, a dedicated group of women volunteers working to restore hope to those being exploited.

What drives my career passion

My background in psychology and human-computer interaction empowers me to capture behaviour patterns from quantitative and qualitative research.

Workplace user experience excites me and I thrive on crafting holistic, surface-to-core experiences for people both internal and external of organisations.

I am a returning speaker on UX Crunch (Tech Circus) on designing and researching in the financial services sector. In addition to my work, I am a design mentor on ADPlist and an award-winning Skillshare teacher.
