Hello, I’m Anqi, I’m a freelance Product Designer available for remote collaboration, and an online/remote Design Thinking Facilitator.

Previously, I was an UXUI Designer for digital innovations at Henkel. Before that I introduced and established the Design Thinking approach as a Design Thinking Consultant with business units and project teams across Henkel.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a food enthusiast and a cultural explorer.

Creativity meets cultural fluency

My creative journey embodies a combination of diverse cultures and experiences - born in China, raised in Germany, discovered my passion for design in the Netherlands. As a life-long learner, I thrive on challenges and seeking opportunities to grow professionally and personally.
