Originally from Seoul, South Korea, I came to the states to study Sociology at UCLA, where I developed a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives. A digital marketing internship sparked my interest in design, leading me to a UX bootcamp and my first role at a fintech startup. Later, while pursuing my Master’s in Human Computer Interaction at the University of Michigan, I gained hands-on experience through multiple internships across startups, labs, and enterprise platforms, which shaped the foundation of my career as a UX/Product Designer.
