My Journey

由設計師到
系統擁有者
From Designer
to System Owner

21 年做過 4 個角色。每次轉型唔係因為「想試新嘢」,而係因為我睇到上一個模式嘅極限。21 years across 4 roles. Each transition wasn't about "trying something new" — it was about seeing the limits of the previous model.

2005
Stage 01 · The Designer

由時裝設計起步,做咗 20 年 graphic & brand designerStarted in fashion design, then 20 years as a graphic & brand designer

2005 年我拎到 BTEC Higher National Diploma (Fashion and Textiles) —— 呢張 Edexcel UK 發嘅文憑係我 timeline 嘅起點。由時裝入行,慢慢轉去 graphic、再去 brand identity,做過大大小小唔同 client 嘅項目。In 2005 I earned the BTEC Higher National Diploma (Fashion & Textiles) — that Edexcel UK certificate is where my timeline begins. From fashion I moved to graphic design, then to brand identity, working with clients big and small.

20 年嘅 craft 訓練畀咗我一個最大嘅 asset:視覺判斷力。但同時亦令我意識到一件事 —— 畫面做到幾靚,項目一交出嘅嗰刻,就已經唔屬於我。20 years of craft gave me one big asset: visual judgment. But it also made one thing painfully clear — no matter how beautiful the work, the moment I delivered it, it stopped being mine.

「穩陣,唔等於擁有。」"Stable, but not owned."
Stable income is not the same as owned equity.

Stage 02 · The Strategist

由「做設計」轉去「做 策略From "doing design" to "doing strategy"

2012 年我拎咗 HKPC 嘅 Professional Diploma for Chief Brand Officer,2015 年再去法國拎咗 RNCP Niveau IV(Conseiller en Image Personnelle et Communication)。In 2012 I earned the HKPC Professional Diploma for Chief Brand Officer, then in 2015 added France's RNCP Niveau IV (Conseiller en Image Personnelle et Communication).

呢 3 年最大嘅 shift 係:我開始問嘅問題唔再係「點樣令佢變靚?」,而係「佢到底想解決乜 business 問題?」。Design 由一個 output 變成一個 tool,而 strategy 變咗新嘅 output。The biggest shift in those 3 years: my question stopped being "how do I make it beautiful?" and became "what business problem are we actually solving?" Design moved from output to tool, and strategy became the new output.

「設計係 tool,策略先係 deliverable。」"Design is the tool; strategy is the deliverable."
Design is the tool; strategy is the deliverable.

Stage 03 · The Operator

由服務客戶,轉去 親自經營 電商同 brandFrom serving clients to operating e-commerce & brands myself

2010s 中後期,我由接 job 嘅 designer 變咗做 dropshipping、做 brand owner。2021 年為咗更系統咁做,我去讀咗 Growth Marketing Academy Bootcamp Cohort 9(12 週全期)。In the late 2010s I shifted from freelance designer to dropshipping & brand owner. In 2021, to do this more systematically, I completed Growth Marketing Academy Bootcamp Cohort 9 (a full 12 weeks).

當我親手跑電商 funnel、睇住流量由平台黎、客戶被平台持有嘅時候,我學到一堂最殘酷但最重要嘅課:你以為你擁有嘅嘢,原來只係租。Platform algorithm 一改,你嘅生意就瞬間蒸發。Running my own e-commerce funnels — watching traffic come from platforms, customers held by platforms — taught me the harshest, most important lesson: what you think you own, you're actually only renting. One platform algorithm change, and your business evaporates.

「客戶唔係我嘅,係平台嘅。」"My customers weren't mine. They were the platform's."
Your customers don't belong to you — they belong to the platform.

Stage 04 · The Owner

AI 時代,我親手起 5 個 live 系統In the AI era, I hand-built 4 live systems

2024 年 AI 工具成熟,我第一次真正體會到:一個唔識 code 嘅 designer,都可以親手起系統。過去兩年我哋 build 咗 4 個 live 項目 —— A Dream Factory(Dropshipping 課程)、SociusHub(會員 + 課程 + 人才配對)、SosoContent(AI 廣東話文案)、Doneforyours(智能報價)—— 全部唔用現成 SaaS,全部由 owner 完全擁有。When AI tools matured in 2024, I finally proved something to myself: a designer who doesn't code can still hand-build systems. Over two years our team built 4 live projects — A Dream Factory (dropshipping courses), SociusHub (members + courses + talent matching), SosoContent (AI Cantonese copywriting), Doneforyours (smart quoting). None on rented SaaS; all fully owned.

同一時間,我繼續深化職業 credentials:2024 TQUK Level 4、2025 VTCT Level 5、2025 ISO 9001 ETETT、2026 年 1 月兩張 Sunderland 職業教育文憑、3 月 Venturenix Java Bootcamp。而家寫緊《錢, 原來可以這樣賺》,預計 2026 年出版;下一本《模板之後》接力。In parallel I deepened my credentials: 2024 TQUK Level 4, 2025 VTCT Level 5, 2025 ISO 9001 ETETT, two Sunderland vocational diplomas in January 2026, plus a Venturenix Java Bootcamp in March. I'm now writing《The New Way to Earn》, due 2026; 《After the Template》follows.

What I Believe

4 個我 唔會妥協 嘅信念4 Beliefs I Won't Compromise

呢 4 個信念係過去 21 年累積出嚟嘅,亦係 Digicraft 每一個項目嘅 backbone。一句話講:擁有 vs 租 · 行為 → 動機 · 商業 > 技術 · 共鳴 → 成交These 4 beliefs accumulated over 21 years; they're the backbone of every Digicraft engagement. In short: Own vs Rent · Behavior → Motive · Commerce > Tech · Resonance → Conversion.

i. Ownership 擁有 vs 租Own vs Rent
ii. Behavior 行為 → 動機Behavior → Motive
iii. Commerce 商業 > 技術Commerce > Tech
iv. Resonance 共鳴 → 成交Resonance → Conversion
i. Ownership · 擁有 vs 租Own vs Rent

擁有,唔係租Own — don't rent

Shopify、HubSpot、Kajabi —— 每月交租,每月被定價。真正嘅 leverage 係你擁有底層 code、data、同 customer list。唔係你揀功能,係功能跟你走。Shopify, HubSpot, Kajabi — monthly rent, monthly repricing. Real leverage is owning the underlying code, data, and customer list. You don't pick features; the features stay with you.

ii. Behavior · 行為 → 動機Behavior → Motive

行為,了解使用者動機Behavior reveals user motive

用戶講乜有時唔重要,佢做乜先係 truth。我哋相信 tracking + observation 比 focus group 真實 10 倍。行為係真相 —— 包括我自己嘅(所以 /credentials 頁公開編號)。What users say doesn't always matter — what they do is the truth. We trust tracking + observation 10× more than focus groups. Behavior is truth — including mine (which is why /credentials lists every number publicly).

iii. Commerce · 商業 > 技術Commerce > Tech

商業,先於技術Commerce before tech

技術係答案,商業先係問題。我哋唔會同你傾「用邊個 framework 好」—— 我哋會同你傾「呢個項目嘅 unit economics 點樣至 work」。Code 係手段,唔係 purpose。Tech is the answer; commerce is the question. We won't debate "which framework" with you — we'll debate how the unit economics actually work. Code is a means, not a purpose.

iv. Resonance · 共鳴 → 成交Resonance → Conversion

共鳴,先於成交Resonance before transaction

唔係見到 lead 即刻 push proposal,唔係 funnel 推到底就硬 close。我哋幫客戶起嘅每個系統,都喺逐個 touchpoint 累積 trust —— 由內容、報價到互動,慢慢建立客戶喺市場上嘅 authority。成交之前已經對你嘅 thinking 同 taste 有共鳴嘅客戶,conversion 同 retention 都高 10 倍。We don't push proposals on every lead, or hard-close at the funnel's end. Every system we build accumulates trust at every touchpoint — content, quoting, interaction — slowly establishing the client's authority in their market. Customers who already resonate with your thinking and taste before they convert? They convert and retain 10× better.
