My work as a product designer has made me appreciate the power and complexity of tech, as well as the importance of collaboration. Design is a way to use my creativity to respond to ever-evolving problems. The skills I bring as an educator better inform my design, as well as my leadership and communication styles.When I'm not working, I'm either learning the latest kpop dance, practicing digital art, or playing video games on my PC.Keywords: UI/UX Design • Product Design • Interaction Design • User Research Interviews • Primary Research • Affinity Mapping • Personas • Journey Mapping • User Flows • Information Architecture • Interactive Prototyping • Usability Testing • Presentations / Public Speaking • sketching and wireframing • prototyping and testing •eCommerce and browsing • persuasive and anticipatory design • gamification and behavior change • dashboards and data design •social media and messaging • product lifecycle.
