ABOUT ME

PRODUCT DESIGNER, UX THINKER,
AND VISUAL STORYTELLER

I’m a Korean-American product designer with a background in business who enjoys turning complex problems into clear, human-centered experiences. My work spans UX strategy, interaction design, visual systems, and cross-functional collaboration.

I’m especially interested in understanding how people actually work, where friction exists, and how design can create value for both users and the business. My business background helps me approach problems with a balance of creativity, structure, and practical decision-making.

I enjoy working closely with people, learning new domains, and building thoughtful solutions that are useful, intuitive, and grounded in real context. Outside of product design, I’m drawn to illustration, visual storytelling, and exploring new ways technology can support more meaningful experiences.
