I’m Taehoon Kim, a UX designer with a strong foundation in cognitive science and research, dedicated to crafting seamless, user-centered digital experiences. I’ve honed my skills through diverse design projects, such as leading UI development and A/B testing for Kaboo, a startup focused on student savings, and developing rapid prototypes like ConnectU, a mentorship app built in 24 hours during Rice University’s Design-a-thon. My unique blend of research-driven insights and design thinking allows me to create solutions that are not only visually appealing but also data-backed and user-friendly.With a background in academic research at Vanderbilt University, I’ve developed a keen eye for detail and a systematic approach to problem-solving. My experience includes conducting user interviews, running experiments, and performing data analysis, all of which inform my design process.
