设计的起点 From design to designer

兴趣 Interest

对设计的兴趣大概从小学开始，写作业时候时常在草稿纸上涂涂画画。画手机界面，假装拥有一部诺基亚手机；画电脑界面，假装拥有一台电脑。有时候学校开公开课会去多媒体教室，PPT的渐变色背景让我产生好奇心，怎么才能用电脑做出这样的效果？后来家里有了电脑，除了Windows自带的画图，最接近设计的一个工具就是PowerPoint。那时候就开始捣鼓PowerPoint文档的制作。

My interest in design began roughly in primary school. While doing homework, I’d often doodle on scratch paper. I drew mobile phone interfaces, pretending I owned a Nokia; I drew computer interfaces, imagining I had a PC. Occasionally we’d go to the multimedia classroom for open classes at school. The gradient backgrounds in PowerPoint slides sparked my curiosity: how could you create such effects on a computer? Later we got a home computer. Besides Microsoft Paint that came with Windows, PowerPoint was the tool closest to design. That was when I started tinkering with PowerPoint documents.

中学 In My Secondary School Years

2014年，在初中时候，当时微博正在风头上。有几个同学准备自制雪媚娘在微博上卖。我说我可以帮他们设计logo跟菜单。当时使用了PowerPoint为他们设计了一套相当简单的 VI 方案。也是早期对统一的 VI 及 Branding 方案的尝试。

In 2014, when I was in junior high school, Weibo was at the height of its popularity. Some classmates planned to sell homemade snow mochi on the platform. I offered to design a logo and menu for them. Using PowerPoint, I created a fairly simple VI system. It was my first attempt at developing cohesive VI and branding.

之后也用PowerPoint把许多当时脑子里面有的设计想法都转化为电子屏幕上显示的内容。

Later on, I also used PowerPoint to translate many design ideas in my head into visuals displayed on screen.

高中的时候，我有了第一部手机。Google 刚刚提出了 Material Design ，这是我第一份阅读的设计指南。当时我的PowerPoint使用水平也到了一个更高的水平。利用内置的动画功能，我探索了利用 PowerPoint 制作仿照 Material Design 控件的可交互式 Slides。这也是最早对 UI 设计的探索。

In high school, I got my first mobile phone. Google had just unveiled Material Design, which was the first design guideline I ever read. My PowerPoint skills had also reached a new level by then. Using its built-in animation features, I explored creating interactive slides that mimicked Material Design UI components. This marked my earliest exploration into UI design.

大学 In college

大一的时候我加入了校学生会的信息技术部，主要给校内活动提供 Slides 制作及现场荧幕操作。这个时候初次接触到标准化的行业设计软件，如 Adobe Suite。

During my freshman year, I joined the Information Technology Department of the Student Union, where I was mainly responsible for slide production and on-site screen operation for various campus events. It was during this period that I was first exposed to professional standardized design software, including the Adobe Suite.

在这个阶段也设计了一些 logo ，比如中学校庆的纪念头像、韦氏茶业的 logo 。

During this period, I also created several logos, including commemorative profile pictures for my middle school’s anniversary and a logo for Wei’s Tea Industry.

大二我转往工业设计专业。当时仍有点不自觉地觉得是否能担得起设计师这样的称号。在学习了工业设计基础课程后，大三我选择了用户体验设计方向。当中包含了众多用户体验设计方法的课程。设计生涯步上了专业阶段。

In my sophomore year, I transferred to Industrial Design. Back then, I still subconsciously wondered whether I deserved to be called a designer. After completing foundational courses in industrial design, I chose User Experience Design as my specialization in my junior year. I took a wide range of courses covering UX research methodologies. This marked the professional phase of my design journey.

就业的转折 Career Turning Point

2021年毕业后，我入职了中国银行软件中心，原本计划在当中进行设计工作，但因为工作单位的岗位需求，最终安排在软件测试岗位。在此期间熟悉了软件开发的全流程，在质量管控下的标准化作业流程。因此也熟悉了项目管理及敏捷管理的相关内容。在此期间也参加了一些公司内的设计项目，比如客户经理的拓客平板端 UI、园区小程序 UI 设计、电子卡片硬钱包的设计等。

After graduating in 2021, I joined the Software Center of Bank of China. I originally planned to work as a designer there, yet I was assigned to the software testing role due to the staffing needs of the organization. During this period, I became familiar with the full software development lifecycle and standardized workflows under quality control. I also gained hands-on knowledge of project management and Agile methodologies. Meanwhile, I took part in several in-house design projects, including the tablet UI for client managers’ customer acquisition, UI design for the campus mini-program, and the design of the digital card hard wallet.

这段经历让我了解并熟悉如何在软件开发流程中进行沟通，且在这个过程更注重极端、错误、异常情况的处理。同时了解了 FinTech 行业的设计特点。2025年，我感觉是时候投入到热爱的设计事业中，于是转换了工作，在 FreightAmigo 作为 UI/UX 全栈设计师。

This experience helped me understand and master cross-team communication within software development workflows, while fostering my awareness of handling edge cases, errors and exceptions. I also gained insights into the design characteristics of the FinTech industry. In 2025, I decided it was time to fully commit to my passion for design. I switched jobs and joined FreightAmigo as a full-stack UI/UX Designer.

个人 Logo ｜Personal Logo

从中学开始，我开始探索个人品牌化的设计。灵感源自金的熔点（1064℃），跟名字的谐音。

Starting from middle school, I began exploring personal branding in design. The concept draws inspiration from the melting point of gold (1064°C), which forms a pun on my name.
