Hi there!
I’m a Product Designer & Art Director crafting intuitive, user-centered digital experiences for brands across New York, Tokyo, and Seoul. I blend strategy, creativity, and system thinking to build scalable, high-impact solutions—whether it’s an AI-powered platform, a SaaS product, or an interactive experience.
When I’m not designing, I’m probably camping, tending to flowers, or getting lost in a good board game. I believe the best ideas come from stepping away from the screen—observing, experimenting, and staying curious. My approach to design is the same: thoughtful, exploratory, and always people-first.
