About me

An experienced designer with coding and project management skills

A Graphic Design background enables me to pay special attention to typography, color and usability. Having worked extensively in the United States, and South Korea has given me insight into what international clients want. With a large freelance base, which includes small businesses and multinationals like Samsung, I can understand how to handle important deadlines and stakeholders by myself. I enjoy completing and taking on new projects. A good website or application allows customers to get the experience they need.

s MY EDUCATION

I received my bachelor of fine arts from Sangmyung University. While at Sangmyung I studied industrial design which included UX/UI, 3D modeling, product design, and furniture design. In addition to my college studies I have taken supplementary courses (At Santa Monica Community College for example) in HTML5, CSS3, JAVA, JQuery, C language and web design.

d MY CAREER

I have designed for phone, interactive, advertising and web design. I have had many opportunities to broaden my design skills and knowledge. I have worked at several UI/UX design and advertising agencies. In South Korea, I designed icons, flash idle, photo frame designs, and UI designs for Samsung and LG. Additionally, I was the lead for the TT Talk messenger application Android and iPhone UI designs. I have created advertisement designs (Newspaper ads, posters, magazine ads, flyers, flash banners, TV commercials, email marketing, web site design, brochures, billboard designs). In my current position at Skechers, I have dealt with digital, print, and store designs for 1,000s of locations.
