Yoong Shin Lee
@yoongshinlee
Certified UX writer and multilingual translator driving clear, user-centered product content.
What I'm looking for
I am a certified user experience (UX) writer and translator fluent in English, Chinese, and Malay, with experience across fintech, cryptocurrency, gaming, and healthcare.
At Touch 'n Go eWallet I developed content strategies, architected information hierarchies, mentored content designers, and contributed to product roadmaps — reducing remittance rejection rates by 96%.
Previously at MYEG I owned product copy across platforms, led content strategy, conducted user interviews and A/B tests, and collaborated closely with designers and researchers to ensure a cohesive product narrative.
Earlier roles in digital marketing, games, and media intelligence strengthened my skills in campaign strategy, social growth, translation quality, and team coaching — consistently delivering measurable engagement and quality outcomes.
