Thanks for stopping by!
I am a recent graduate from the University of Washington with a B.S in Informatics & focus on Human-Computer Interaction.
I grew up as a very shy kid. Although I moved to the states from South Korea when I was just 2 years old, I struggled with my bicultural identity all throughout grade school. Experiencing this sense of alienation from both of my cultures shaped and influenced me in many different ways, most significantly contributing to my timid and quiet nature as a young child. Despite the challenges that I've faced (and eventually overcame), this period of my life granted me a valuable skill that would become engrained in my daily life-- to listen & empathize.
My passion for user experience bloomed when I took my first HCI course at the University of Washington. I loved the idea of bringing together two things I loved-- my passion for artistic creativity & and people.

TMI: In my free time, I am either dancing to hip-hop, golfing, reading a book outdoors (if Seattle weather permits) and almost always drinking an overpriced latte at my favorite coffee shop ☕️
