Summary
🤩
RockstarWalter Lim is a Design Lead with 11 years of cross-functional experience blending UX research, product design, and front-end engineering to ship usable, accessible products across both large corporates and fast-moving B2B SaaS startups. He pairs hands-on UX engineering know-how with practical research methods, understanding trade-offs between Figma prototypes and static React tests to surface real user behavior—especially around forms and touch targets. At Watchful he leads design while still shipping code, and his open-source work includes front-end improvements to a browser extension that distinguishes verified Twitter accounts and adds playful customization modes. Walter’s pragmatic focus is on delivering measurable outcomes that reduce churn and speed feature delivery, driven by a belief that design must earn a team’s social license by producing real user value. Based in Auckland, he brings a rare combination of product intuition, implementation discipline, and attention to interaction details that often get overlooked.
