I like to explore the unknow. I have backpacked to Australia, New Zealand, Bail, Thailand, Japan. I am not afraid of challenge. Frankly, I actually like challenge. Challenge is like a mysterious monster that one is always excited to meet.
My name is Betty Chiu, a visual designer that focuses on user centered design. I am passionate about improving the lives of others through design. I believed a good design can change the world. I am always learning and improving my skills. One best thing of being designer is there is always new things coming up!
I have learnt a lot of concepts, and theories in fine art, digital media, and UX/UI design through attending school and self learn online. I gained experience by practicing them in my spare time and at work.
What is "that thing" on your logo?
That thing” is a witty character I designed that has only one eye. I want to make a cute monster-like character to represent myself because I like monsters a lot. My work is mostly story-based, so I want to design a girl that can show my style of design. A lot of my work has facial features like eyes and mouths.
Which music I listen when I am doing design?
Amélie and Ghibli soundtrack
What is my favourite drink?
I love Okinawa brown sugar milk tea!
What is my favourite movie quote?
“Get busy living or get busy dying.” from “Shawshank Redemption”

Testimonial
Aliza Sovani
Co-Founder LILI Media & Design Lab
We were fortunate to work with Betty, Amadea and Rachelle as clients for their York University UX Design Certificate course. We had a big ask for the team in terms of helping us streamline our value proposition, branding, website wireframes and a functioning website – all of which were accomplished successfully in a matter of weeks through an insightful UX design process that allowed us to be confident in our alignment with our audience expectations and needs. It was a pleasure working with this talented and professional team.
