Designing stories through a global lens 🌎
I spent most of my childhood living in South Korea and Germany before moving to the United States. These experiences helped me develop a unique perspective on the world and foster empathy and understanding of others.

Why design?
Solving the core of the problem
While working as an operation analyst, I realized that the solutions I'm providing my clients only scratch the surface of the problem, not the core. While researching ways to offer my clients more effective solutions, I discovered UX design and was captivated by its user-centric approach to problem-solving. Since then, I've been passionate about advocating for UX design and find fulfillment in knowing that my work can make a positive difference in users' experiences.
Inspo and influences
I love getting inspired by being active outdoors, traveling, meeting new people, and hearing about their experiences.
