Originally from Hunan Province, China, Ting Chen is a UX designer currently based in New York. She has earned her master’s degree in Graphic Design from Savannah College of Art and Design. With a passion for creativity, she strived to integrate the right technology to innovate and elevate digital products in B2B and B2C e-commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m Ting Chen, a UX designer based in New York, originally from Hunan Province, China. I moved to the United States in 2012. Earned my master’s in Graphic Design from Savannah College of Art and Design, graduating in 2015. I began my professional journey in New York as a junior designer in the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I studied drawing and painting since my elementary school, eventually pursuing a degree in printmaking at one of China’s top art schools during my undergraduate studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, despite my passion for art, I found the physical labour involved in printmaking to be challenging. Working with heavy print machines to produce prints required constant assistance from classmates, which became frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During that time, I had a close friend studying Graphic Design. Witnessing his ability to craft creative designs and layouts using computers and exposure to innovative concepts from various global countries like Japan, Germany, the UK, and the US, deeply intrigued me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by international designers and the limitless possibilities of graphic design, I decided to change my major for my master’s degree, eager to explore the dynamic and creative field of Graphic Design further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did 2 elective classes to work on projects focused on user-centric design principles during my graphic design studies at Savannah College of Art and Design. These projects exposed me to the importance of understanding user needs, behaviors, and motivations in the design process. It sparked my interest in UX design and planted the seeds for my eventual transition into the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
