Hello, I'm Lindie 👋
Polyglot YouTuber and UI/UX designer
Dissolving borders through language learning
About Lindie
I’ve always been fascinated by the possibilities that language offers to break down barriers and connect with people. As such, my passion in life is learning languages and figuring out the best way to learn more.Â
Since 2009, I have immersed myself in languages and developing efficient learning methods. As a result, I’m fluent in a few languages – but it’s not the number that counts. The process of learning a new skill and exploring new cultures that makes it all worth it.
Despite being a self-confessed language nut, I don’t actually do it full time. I work as a UI/UX designer at a startup in Singapore, so I am fascinated by the intersection of design and languages. I seek ways to advocate for better accessibility and language representation in UX design.
