ABOUT US
We are energetic, smart
and
passionate
In 2013, Decision Science was founded to bridge a gap in the digital industry primarily dominated by two types of agencies: design agencies with their beautiful craft on one end, and system integration companies with their high focus on integration only.
We wanted to create a new generation, where customer journey is taken care in a seamless manner. At a time when UX and UI first started to develop its grip on the industry, Decision Science kick-started and adopted data as the drive behind efficient interfaces – and therein onwards many great partnerships with our clients took form.

Chua Shan Yi
Head of Operations
When Decision Science first founded, Shan was part of the starting team as a project manager. As a former developer, she began to learn the ropes of project management under Collin’s leadership at Decision Science and soon began to lead various projects as the project lead. As the team grew further in size, Shan continued to work across with more project teams and took this opportunity to groom new talents. She began to coach and motivate the many folks at Decision Science to work out their professional challenges, and sometimes even personal challenges as a friend. She is also heading the operations team in managing the BAU operations in DS.
As a working mother of one very active kid, Shan also spends a good amount of time attempting new recipes in her free time. And is currently training her six year old to be a capable sous chef in her kitchen! Her core belief is - there is always an opportunity to learn and improve, and it does not matter what age you are at.
