Your device ran into... my personal website! Hey there, my name is Erick Christopher. I am an aspiring UI/UX designer. I have always been passionate, eager, adamant, fervent, and pedantic on blending form and function.
For more information about me, scroll down the website.
Who am I, though?
Apa kabar! I am an Indonesian student currently studying ICT & Media Design in Fontys, The Netherlands. Studying here enables me to dive deeper into the world of UI UX research & design as well as front end development.
If I have to describe myself in one word, it would be curious. I always strive to know on how to improve myself, whether it's about designing and researching, or just in general as a person. I firmly believe that having a thirst for knowledge and taking every chance to be a better person will always be appreciated no matter where you are.
I also love communicating with other people from different backgrounds! I love having a healthy discussion with my friends whether it's about design, or just everyday things. I love sharing information with others, and vice versa.
Time to show off myself!
Skills
My biggest forte is in UI/UX Design and I've been in a number of SCRUM teams while working with design thinking method. I realised my designs with Figma (which is my best friend). So yes, I am very passionate!
Aside from that, I also like doing front-end development (I coded this website with HTML, CSS, JS). I am confident that I have the technical and aesthetic skills to be a good designer.
Education
I did a Bachelors in Indonesia undertaking IT-Software Engineering (algorithms, data structure... those nerdy stuff). However, I also wanted to improve my front-end skills, which is why I took ICT Media Design now; I must say, I am very grateful I get to experience the world of UI and UX!
Languages
Like everyone nowadays, I speak English fluently (with a bit of an American accent). But I also speak Indonesian, as it's my nationality and my native language. Currently, I am studying French and Japanese to broaden my cultural awareness, as well as to challenge myself to further better my communication skills!
Oh and of course, as a programmer, I also speak C++, Java, C#, and some PHP.
My magnum opus(es)!
Here are the projects I've researched and designed. I promise they're amazing!
