Approach
Life outside of the screen.
At Fordham, I learned research, wireframing, and prototyping. A semester at Korea University taught me something harder: to question my assumptions and design for people whose habits look nothing like mine.
Working in fintech gave me the business side. I saw firsthand how a single design decision can affect revenue, risk, and compliance.
Today I bring both together: I connect what users need with what the business can ship, then carry it through with accessible design and clean, production-ready code.
I went to Fordham University and studied at Korea University in 2017. That time abroad sparked a love of exploring new places and seeing the world from different perspectives.
I speak Korean and Japanese, and I'm learning Spanish (day 356 on Duolingo). I've traveled through South Korea, Mexico, Colombia, London, and Italy, and there's still plenty left on my list.
These days I'm based in Midtown New York, always looking for a new restaurant or cafe. Away from my desk, I run half marathons, ski, and practice yoga.
