Before I am a product designer, I'm a visual designer and a creative – I have always loved translating abstract ideas into tangible forms that people can experience, whether it is in photography, code, or illustration. I believe that any medium is only a tool to translate ideas into real products we can interact with and consume.

While working as a graphic designer, I had my first exposure to UX design by participating in a UX competition called CreateSC in 2019, where my team won first place. I loved the idea of combining my visual design skills and product thinking to address real business and user needs, creating solutions that can make small but meaningful improvements to people's everyday lives.

For me, the most important thing to remember is to always stay curious and humble, striving to be a product designer who constantly listens to the users and adapts my design thinking.

I love reading – mostly psychology/self-help books, but I have been diving into more fiction and autobiographies. 📖 Always open for book recommendations, follow me on GoodReads!

I'm an avid user of Spotify since 2016 with over 100 playlists for every mood and activity. My favorite artists are The 1975, Mac Miller, and LANY. Check out my favorite playlist for the summer ☀️ (ft. my album cover redesign)

One way I learned to keep my mind clear is by staying active by going on runs, playing golf, weightlifting, and practicing yoga. 🧘🏻

I've moved in and out of 9 different homes in the last 7 years, in LA, Seattle, SF, London, and Seoul. ✈️ I'm always open to move to a new city and excited to see where my next chapter will take me.
