I am a visual and user experience designer based in New York City. I was made in USA, spent my childhood in South Korea, moved to the mid west USA, and I have been calling New York City my home for the past 6 years. I believe that living in between cultures, my multi-cultural experience has provided rich, global perspective to my work. I currently work for IBM as a software product designer in the IBM Digital group focusing on strengthening company's customer experience and its digital presence. In the past, I've worked for NBCUniversal with a focus on B2B marketing, which included NBCU original content production work, and a design studio that specializes in branding and print work.
