I’m the founding product designer at Informed, a Berlin-based B2B SaaS startup building AI-powered writing assistants.
My path to product design has been anything but traditional—before stepping into this role, I worked at the intersection of journalism, media, and innovation. I started by translating international news into Chinese, sharpening my ability to distill complex information into clear, engaging narratives. I then managed innovative news projects that won awards in Taiwan and abroad, before working as a local producer for major international media outlets, including The New York Times, The Guardian, and CBC.
This unique journey has equipped me with a keen ability to understand audiences, communicate ideas effectively, and craft intuitive experiences—skills I now apply to product design.
