what does "change" mean to me? South Korea United Kingdom Germany United States

Growing up, I moved between England, Germany, Korea, and the United States, adapting to new cultures, languages, and ways of life. Each move was both a challenge and an opportunity, teaching me how to embrace the unfamiliar and quickly find my footing in new environments. These experiences shaped not just my adaptability but also my empathy for others navigating change.

As a Product Designer, I believe in the delicate balance between embracing change and honoring familiarity. Every design decision I make stems from a deep understanding of users. My role is to navigate this tension thoughtfully, ensuring that change is not just for the sake of innovation but rooted in research, user needs, and strategic intent. Design is about helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered.
