Kimei Design 之創辦人 / 插畫設計師 / 平面設計師
我是 Kimei,一名全職獨立接案的視覺設計師。我喜歡在設計中探索各種可能性,透過融合文字、圖像與跨領域知識,將複雜的訊息轉化為清晰、有趣的視覺表達。
2014 年,我創立了 Kimei Design。緣於世新大學公共傳播學系與社會發展研究所的學科背景,以及曾任採訪編輯、專欄作者、NGOs 幹部與國會法案助理的跨領域經歷,使我兼備文字與圖像語彙的邏輯理解與表述能力。我尤其擅長消化艱澀的專業術語,協助客戶從繁雜訊息中「御繁化簡」地梳理關鍵問題,再將之靈活轉譯為視覺創意,提供兼具質感與功能、商業與藝術的綜合解決方案,讓客戶擁有簡明高效、迅速對焦的設計溝通體驗。
對我而言,設計是將想法與觀念進行「視覺轉譯」的創意激盪、提煉與整合過程。相較追求特定的視覺風格標籤,我更偏好讓作品依據主題脈絡「自然生長」。無論是需要高度嚴謹、去蕪存菁的專業資訊整理,或是追求溫潤情感、激發想像的創意敘事,我都會依據專案的需求與預算,調校出最適切的視覺容器,讓作品去說它自己的語言。
閒暇時,我喜歡從現代與當代藝術汲取養分,對科學與科技新知亦充滿好奇,也會從自身的學經歷提煉想法。我希望能將這些手法與觀念帶入設計,激發思考與想像,同時呼應當下的社會與文化議題。

Kimei Lo
Founder / Illustrator / Graphic Designer of Kimei Design
I am Kimei, a full-time self-employed visual communication designer. I enjoy exploring various possibilities in design, transforming complex information into clear and interesting visual expressions by blending text, images, and interdisciplinary knowledge.
I founded Kimei Design in 2014. My academic background in the Department of Public Communication and the Graduate Institute of Social Transformation at Shih Hsin University, along with my cross-disciplinary experience as a Journalist and Editor, columnist, NGOs cadre/project manager, and Assistant to the Legislative Yuan at Public Expenses, equips me with the logical understanding and expressive capability for both textual and visual language. I am particularly skilled at digesting challenging professional jargon, helping clients simplify complex information to clarify key issues, and then flexibly translating them into visual creativity. This allows me to provide comprehensive solutions that combine quality and function, commerce and art, ensuring clients have a clear, efficient, and rapidly focused design communication experience.
To me, design is a process of creative brainstorming, refinement, and integration that involves the “visual translation” of ideas and concepts. Compared to pursuing a specific visual style label, I prefer allowing the work to “naturally grow” based on the thematic context. Whether the task requires highly rigorous organization of professional information (purging the superfluous and extracting the essential), or creative narration aimed at fostering warmth and stimulating imagination, I adjust the most appropriate visual container according to the project’s needs and budget, allowing the work to speak its own language.
In my spare time, I enjoy drawing inspiration from modern and contemporary art, and I am also curious about new developments in science and technology. I also refine ideas from my own academic and professional experiences. I hope to incorporate these observations and concepts into my design practice to stimulate thought and imagination while echoing current social and cultural issues.
