From the People I Worked With

Real words from teammates, clients, and collaborators.

I’m happy to recommend Soe, whom I got to know during my time as CEO at SustainLab. Even though we didn’t work closely day-to-day, Soe always stood out as friendly, reliable, and incredibly committed.

What impressed me most was his reliability and drive, even while working from a completely different time zone. Regardless of the hour, Soe was always willing to step in, support the team, and make sure progress was never hindered by geography. That level of commitment is rare and deeply appreciated.

Soe is diligent, thoughtful, and highly collaborative. He has earned strong trust within the team by combining creative talent with a disciplined, structured way of working. He brings a positive attitude to everything he does and is a great team player.

I've had the pleasure of working with Soe Yan Paing for a few years at SustainLab. I first hired him as an intern, and he quickly grew into a full-time UX designer who's had a great impact on our product. Soe brings creativity, openness, and persistence to everything he does. He's proactive in feedback sessions, always available despite time zone differences, and a true team player. I've really appreciated his work on improving our design system and overall user experience. A fantastic colleague to have on any team!

Soe Yan Paing demonstrated exceptional skills in UX/UI and visual design, significantly contributing to the company's growth. He initiated a new approach to communication design that helped increase monthly sales volume from THB 40 million to THB 120 million. His passion for photography allows him to see subjects from unique perspectives, a talent he skillfully applies to his design work—often producing visuals that stand out in both creativity and execution.

Soe consistently performed well as a team leader, while also being a dependable and collaborative team member. He willingly took on additional responsibilities and never hesitated to go beyond his assigned duties. During year-end evaluations, he regularly received top merit ratings—not only from me but also from his peers.

Beyond his professional contributions, Soe actively participated in the company's charity initiatives, including volunteering to support people with disabilities in rural areas.
