About me

Hi there, I'm Ryan! I am an empathetic Product Designer with a foundation in Computer Science and over 5 years of experience transforming complex challenges into intuitive, user-centered digital products.

I specialize in the end-to-end design process, from initial research and wire-framing to high-fidelity prototyping and design system implementation.

Career Goals and Design Philosophy

With my high-education in business and tech, I include strong code/dev and business leadership decision making skills into my designs.

My goals for my designs is to create inclusive and accessible experiences, using clean and robust code, with a blend of creative thinking.

Life Outside of the Screen

I love to travel, I’m also fluent in Korean, Japanese, and currently I’m learning Spanish. I have traveled to places like South Korea, Mexico, Colombia, London, and Italy.

When I’m not at my computer, I stay active and centered through running half marathons, skiing, and yoga.

Living in midtown NYC now, I love exploring the city's dynamic food scene and discovering new restaurants and cafes.
