Hana Yazmeen binti Hapiz

Director, Ignite Venture Lab UMK

I have over a decade of experience in product design and entrepreneurship, with a strong background in design thinking, startup acceleration, and market access. My passion lies in guiding and empowering innovative minds, helping them navigate challenges, and fostering growth in business strategy and design innovation.

Currently, I serve as the Head of Unit for Ignite Venture Lab at UMK, where I lead campus-based startup accelerators and mentor budding entrepreneurs in pitch deck creation and design thinking. Additionally, I own several micro-credential modules on design thinking and have won multiple accolades in design and innovation competitions.

Beyond my academic and professional endeavors, I have successfully co-founded a thriving coffeeshop chain, Kopi Mesin, alongside my husband, now with 22 locations across Malaysia. I am excited to contribute my knowledge and insights to support participants in achieving their goals during this hackathon. Looking forward to connecting with you all!
