About

Me

I am a third-culture kid that was born in South Korea and raised all across the continental U.S. —from Maine, Delaware, Kansas, and eventually Georgia .

I received my BS in Industrial Design from Georgia Tech in 2021. As the only design program at a tech focused institution, my product design background has always been a blend of the creative and technical, but I am at my core a people-Focused researcher and designer.

I'm currently doing my Master's in Industrial Design and focusing on design research.
(Currently working in research around public health misinformation, political news consumption, and civic engagement.)

Honors & Speaking
I'm passionate about social equity advocacy, public interest technology, and voting access. Outside of my design work, I previously interned at the aclu of ga on their voter access project, continued on as a volunteer on their lead program, and also volunteer as a poll worker in my home county!
(My interest in civic tech began when I spent a gap semester in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic as a Civic Digital Fellow at the NIH to help with their STRIDES initiative.)
Me and all the other amazing CDF Fellows from 2020. :,)
You can find me researching at the Technologies + International Development Lab under Dr. Michael Best, where I do work in investigating health misinformation and digital outreach strategies amongst Black and Latine communities in GA.
I previously led Georgia Tech's Hack4Impact design team with the lovely Stephanie He, where we build web apps for non-profit clients. Since then, I have led 2 cohorts of our Design Bootcamp with the amazing Joyce Shen and Simon Zhang.
(We teach students the basics of digital product design and help them put together a case study for their portfolio.)

Outside of my work, I love going to museums, drawing and painting, playing board games, reading books, and crocheting.
I also have an unhealthy obsession with Parks and Rec and cartoons.
