About Me

Carie (Hoi Ying) Ng

I am from Hong Kong but with a diverse family background, I moved from Hong Kong to Prague, UK, and now Denmark. This experience has made me open minded and able to see things from different perspectives. My goal is to work in digital design with a high focus on user experience (UX/UI) and visual design. I like to address tasks creatively but I am detail-oriented, which is handy for staying organized. I have expertise in various creative tools and methods. I enjoy collaborating with others through an adapt-and-learn approach.


Digital Design

Throughout my school years, I was always interested in being creative digitally and traditionally. Product design and visual arts classes sparked a passion for me. The start of my design journey came from wanting to design for good where I created a mental health guide e-book for the IB personal project assignment.

Branding & Marketing

I started my academic journey in 2018 as a BA branding and marketing student. The design school developed my graphical skills and curiosity led towards branding and concept development. A lot of the projects and assignments for this course focused around sustainability, and boosted my awareness on the subject and desire to share the knowledge with others.

User Experience Design

In 2022, I was hired as a junior UI designer and marketing assistant working on VR safety training within the wind turbine industry. I decided to continue expanding my skills within the field by studying MA User Experience Design alongside my career to improve my UI design and understand what UX is truly about.
