About Me
Hi! My name is Thian Lim. I’m an interaction designer based in the Netherlands. I love designing products and interactions for and with users.
Rotterdam
the Netherlands
Bachelor’s degree: Industrial Design Engineering
Below is the slogan of Industrial Design Engineering and pretty much sums it up. Mechanics, design, marketing & ergonomics are only a few aspects of product design included in the broad curriculum of the bachelor programme. All of which contribute to designing great products that people love to use.
Creating succesful products people love to use!

Master’s degree: Design for Interaction
My curiosity and interest for user behavior led me to the Design for Interaction master programme. This master focuses on aspects like interaction, user behavior, user experience and user testing. I believe that understanding users and their motivations is essential to designing great products.
I have always loved drawing and sketching and during both my bachelor and master I continued to hone these skills. Besides this, I fell in love with graphic design and visualization, which my portfolio hopefully reflects.
