(Years old)
My design journey began with childish curiosity—teaching myself Photoshop in elementary school to create custom stationery. When I started selling extras online, I discovered the thrill of designing for others, adjusting my creations based on what resonated with customers.
This natural evolution led me from interaction design studies in my undergraduate years to data-informed UX and user research during my master's program.
What truly motivates me as a designer is creating products that make a real difference in people's lives, especially when they reach users worldwide with different needs and backgrounds.
(Philosophy)
Designer as a problem solver
I don’t see myself strictly as a “designer,” but rather as a team member who brings design expertise to the table. My goal is to collaborate across functions and contribute to solving problems—through design, but always with the bigger product and team context in mind.
Putting user experience first
While understanding business goals and constraints is essential, I believe the designer’s primary responsibility is to prioritize the user experience. I prefer to craft the best possible experience first, then find practical ways to bring it to life within the given limitations.
We are not users, users are not us
Users struggle to articulate real problems or helpful solutions. I don't take feedback at face value—instead, I dig deeper to uncover root causes and underlying factors. I then apply product principles, business perspectives, and design judgment to create solutions that align with both user needs and product goals.
I was inspired by Jony Ive's philosophy
"Simplicity isn’t just a visual style. It’s not just minimalism or the absence of clutter. It’s about bringing order to complexity.
"A great product isn’t defined by how it looks but by how it works."
"We try to develop products that seem somehow inevitable, that leave you with the sense that that’s the only possible solution that makes sense."
"We spend months and months and months working on a single detail until we get it right."
