About me

I am a UX designer + user researcher based in Seoul. The passion of my career is to create inclusive digital products that empower communities.

Throughout my career, I’ve delivered multiple design projects to clients all over the world. Currently, I’m a UX designer at Niantic, designing accessible and fun AR experiences.

I love my dog, my friends, tennis, and drawing.
