a 3D animation of who I am without any written words :))

hi i'm jiyeon aka jawn — I recently graduated from UCLA, where I studied Design Media Arts + Digital Humanities. My role as a Product Designer is to ensure that change is not driven by novelty alone but grounded in research, user needs, and strategic intent.

what does "change" mean to me?

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 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 the users. My role is to navigate such tension thoughtfully, ensuring that change is not just for the sake of innovation but is rooted in research, user needs, and strategic intent. Design is about helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered.
