About Me

Hi, I’m Zihan (aka Henry)!

A Design Manager and Brand Director with a mission to craft solutions that don’t just look good but do good. How I bring value?

  • Rapid ethnography and enterprise UX research

  • End-to-end project management: from research and conception to prototyping, implementation, funding, and delivery

  • Design thinking workshops and client engagement

  • Professional and decisive presentation of work

  • Speculative design, strategic foresight, and financial planning

When I’m not busy strategizing or designing, you’ll find me:

Capturing moments: My photography has been featured in German media (because apparently, I have an eye for more than just brand aesthetics;)). Photos->
Building my voice as an Influencer: Think of me as a cultural bridge with a keyboard.Just reached 5k followers! Xiaohongshu->
Coding my own iOS apps: Because who doesn’t love a side hustle that involves debugging at 2 a.m.?
Geeking out on AI: I’m fluent in pretty much every AI tool out there—because the future is now, and I’m already living in it.

Yes, I’m an ENTJ, so efficiency and results are my love language.
