I make sense of complex systems.
Then I turn that understanding into products.
From UX design and research at Autodesk to independently designing and shipping apps. Based in Hangzhou, shaped by studying and living in South Korea.

Clarity, before simplicity.
At Autodesk, I worked on Revit and Fusion: professional tools where a small interaction can sit inside a very complex workflow. My focus was understanding those workflows and giving people a clear way through them.
I connected user research and data analysis with information architecture, interface mockups, interactive prototypes and validation. I designed the interfaces as well as the research that informed them.
On my projects, I collaborated with dedicated visual designers, who took more responsibility for brand, logos and illustration. My own centre of gravity was UX, research and interaction: defining behaviour, making it tangible and testing whether it worked.

Qualitative, not a measured score.

I connect workflow understanding, interface structure and design validation across complex tasks.
02 · INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
A wider scope.
The same ownership of quality.
After Autodesk, I expanded from designing within a product team to owning the whole product. Every non-Autodesk project here is my independent work, built from zero to one.
I find the problem, analyse the product, decide what belongs in scope, design the experience and validate it. I also lead AI-assisted development, QA, release and iteration. The tools help me build; the direction, tradeoffs and quality remain my responsibility.
“I orchestrate AI tools across visual exploration, prototyping and implementation, turning product questions into testable interfaces and working apps.”
I use Stitch, Claude Design, Figma AI / Figma Make and GPT Image to explore and iterate mockups and prototypes. With Codex, Claude and Cursor, I organise implementation tasks, review working behaviour and refine the result. The workflow changes with the problem; I choose the direction, compare outputs and check each handoff.

My current practice as an independent product designer and builder.
Qualitative, not a measured score.
Select a dimension to explore the work behind it.
I identify the problem and set the scope, making choices about what a first release needs and what can wait.
These profiles use different dimensions. They describe relative areas of practice, not an area-based measure of growth. Explorations such as Makeup remain prototypes, separate from released products.
03 · PERSONAL PRACTICE
Alongside product work, I trade intraday futures using ATAS X, TradeSea, TradingView and Tradovate. Working with order flow, market structure and risk constraints is a practice in probabilistic thinking, disciplined execution and reviewing decisions.
Reading dense information, making a considered decision and learning from the outcome are habits I bring back to product work.
A PRACTICE IN JUDGEMENT
Read order flow, market structure and multiple views of the same market.

A CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE
I studied Communication Design — UX Track at Hongik University. Living and studying in South Korea, and working in China, gave me a cross-cultural lens on language, context and the way people use products.
