Nice to meet you! I’m Junghyun.
I’m a product designer with a Master’s in HCI from Carnegie Mellon and a BA in Cognitive Science from UC Berkeley.
I took an Adobe Illustrator class in college, where I got an intro to UX and human-centered design. I was immediately intrigued by how everyday human experiences are interconnected with the design of technology.
My passion is designing equitable and inclusive systems that solve real human problems. When I'm not busy working, you can find me on the hunt for my next cup of iced coffee.
What I’m currently up to:
📖 Reading Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
🏃♀️ Running! Still a beginner so no Strava yet
🎮 Gaming (I built the PC myself!); my current favorite game is Chef RPG
