A wee bit about me
Doctor?
Some might be curious about my educational background—yes, I earned a Bachelor of Medicine from Fudan University. I was there due to some family circumstances, but that’s now just some history. By my sophomore year, I had already decided to be a designer instead of a doctor for my passion deep inside.
Design
I prefer not to add a prefix before the word “designer” since I don’t want a job title to define the scope of my work. My design journey began with graphic design in high school, and over time, I started to explore more fields like including typeface design, UI/UX design, and even packaging design.
Polyglot
I speak English, French, and Mandarin Chinese fluently, along with a bit of Taiwanese, and I’m always eager to learn more. As a world citizen, I’m passionate about understanding people in their own languages. Being a polyglot also aligns with my focus on cross-cultural, multi-script design.
Culture maniac
Culture is the way that I stay connected to this turbulent world, and there’s no better place than Shanghai to indulge in musicals, stage plays and films at the same time. And it’s also through culture that like-minded people make their voices heard, protect shared values, and support one another.
Typophile
This word basically means someone really into typefaces and typography. My passion of design started from my obsession with typefaces since I was 14, since when I pay care a lot about the typography environment around me from screens to signages on the road. I also design typefaces recent years.
Catches bugs
It’s not about the bugs that developers are talking about. It’s the bug hiding in the small details in design. I always notice the things that many people tend to ignore or don’t really care about like margins, line-heights, icon sizes, these sort of things that many people tell me not worth spending time.
Kinda geeky
I’m really into new technologies and I also code. From the beginning I’ve been longing to turn my design into reality by coding. I taught my self front-end development and Swift and it feels great to be full-stack sometimes.
The other life
I also read books, care about what’s going on around the world, listen to podcasts, The Beatles and Taylor Swift, support Manchester United and play a lot of Nintendo Switch titles (especially Splatoon 2).
