Simplicity as hidden strength

I enjoy the challenge of making the complex feel simple - like untangling a knot until the thread runs smooth in your hands.

In both research and design, I break down intricate flows, capture the core logic, and ease friction. All this speaks for my design philosophy: the best products are not those that overwhelm with power, but those that let efficiency and clarity meet in a way users can grasp at once.

Outside Work

Outside Work

Outside of design, I’m drawn to experiences that let me step into other worlds and perspectives. I’ve been scuba diving since 2018, exploring quiet, weightless underwater landscapes filled with wrecks, night dives, and marine life. I also host and play NPCs in murder mystery games, bringing characters to life and guiding players through unfolding stories. Through photography, a hobby I’ve kept since undergrad, I capture small, fleeting moments—using the lens as a way to slow down, notice details, and tell stories without words.
