VR Spatial Design

Horizon VR — The Future of Work Events in VR

My background is a bit of a mix. Born in Hong Kong, raised in Canada, and now living in London, I started out in business and tech, working across operations and consulting before I retrained as a designer in 2018. That way of thinking stuck with me. I still think in outcomes, growth, and the product behind the pixels.

At my core, I love building things. I'm happiest when I'm in the weeds, figuring out how a system works, prototyping a new idea, or exploring new tools. Lately I've been experimenting with AI to speed up my workflow and build more independently.

I make pots

Victor Ng Ceramics is my solo studio practice — wonky, one of a kind wheel thrown pieces, never matching sets. I've grown it to 50K+ followers, 50M+ views and a 500+ newsletter, sold 500+ works, and was cast on Season 8 of The Great Pottery Throwdown. I run the whole thing myself — making, sales, marketing, content and the website.
