Design has always been a big part of my life since I was 13 – or well, it started when I was 6 years old. I joined and won a lot of different drawing and coloring competitions as a kid up to when I’m 12, which I believe had sharpened my skills about picking and putting colors together. But then, as all kids are, I did get bored with art and my crayons. So I went to a tourism vocational school in between, which, however, led me back to design (or art) all over again when my teacher told me that I should pursue my design talent as I designed a travel brochure.
Growing up together side by side with the internet, made me realize how it made so many things in life a lot easier. What was not possible when I’m 10, is now just a click away. Living abroad makes it even more clearer. I’m so grateful that I don’t have to send letters to my family or use a phone booth to make an international phone call. That is also one of the reasons why my passion for digital design grew, since design is the one thing that makes sure I’m not frustrated in using the digital platforms. After 6 years of intense qualification in the design field, it is still my biggest pleasure to be able to deliver a complex set of information in an aesthetic and simpler way, all so I can help others have a simpler life.
I work as a UI designer in the Karlsruhe office and sometimes in the comfort of my own apartment. My tasks involve designing a mere button, up to a whole website with motion design and illustrations. In my off hours, I mostly spend time with my family, friends or simply cuddling my sausage dog. Being asian at heart, I have a big passion for noodle soup and bubble tea, but also cake and chai latte.
