Here’s a bit of my backstory:
After taking my first ballet class at the age of 20, being a professional ballet dancer was my life dream. It felt surreal to realize this dream 5 years later, and I was able to have a dance career across two ballet companies.
Fast forward to today, where I work as a digital product designer for a health insurance company. I enjoy the challenge of taking experiences that are complex, difficult, or dense with information and transforming them into streamlined products that are intuitive to use and easy to understand.
Outside of work, I am passionate about mentoring others, visiting museums, and nerding out on Sondheim musicals!
More random things about me:
self-proclaimed expert on the enneagram personality types 🤓
As someone really into self-improvement, I find the Enneagram Personality Types to be the only framework that both accounts for the fluidity of human nature and emphasizes clear steps to actively better yourself. Or maybe that’s just my 1w2 making itself heard...ask me if you’re curious!
japanese design as a source of inspiration 🗾
My approach to design is heavily influenced by principles of japanese design; the ability to balance simplicity and minimalism with such character and attention to detail is something I try to emulate in my work.
hanja: the language crossover between mandarin and korean 🈶
Similar to latin roots for english words, many words in Korean derive from traditional mandarin characters. Studying this has helped me expand my Korean vocabulary while also giving insight into the etymology and the culture inherent within the words of this language.
