Hi, I’m Heejae.

Welcome to my world! I am a versatile UX & Product designer with a breadth of experience. Design has been my passion since childhood, leading me to transition from earning two undergraduate degrees in law and international business to pursue my love for design. I find joy in creating innovative solutions and tackling complex problems. Meeting new people and hearing diverse perspectives continually enrich my understanding of the world.

I excel in dynamic environments!

Florida

My desire to live abroad began when I went to elementary school in Florida in the forth grade. I spent about a year there because of my dad’s job. I loved the weather 🏖, making friends at school👯‍♀️, trying new foods🍟, and even encountering alligators🐊.

Italy, Hong Kong, Germany

In undergraduate years, double-majoring in law and international business, I earned the opportunity to be an intern at GTEP (Glocal Trade Expert incubating Program). I went to Italy for the 2015 Bologna Zoomark 🇮🇹, the 2015 Hong kong gem fair 🇭🇰, and the 2016 Nuremberg Toy Fair 🇩🇪. I took a role in sales and interpreting for small and medium-sized enterprises at overseas exhibitions.

Prague

I lived in Prague 🇨🇿 for one semester as an exchange student. I enjoyed a city of romance for six months, and can’t forget the brilliant view ✨. I also experienced my first gala party 💃, and such an unforgettable moment I could never have had if I wasn’t in Prague. Tridlo is one more thing I can’t forget about, I miss the taste of it 🥐.

San Francisco

The first day I arrived in San Francisco was August 31st, 2022. Landing in this adventurous city was a heart-pounding moment ❤️. Studying design abroad was a dream that I always had in my heart. Now that I am here excited to to learn and seek something new in this city 🇺🇸. I am convinced that this city is a place where I can gain many experiences and opportunities 🤓. Can’t wait for another super day 🚀!

An explorer and a seeker of new stuff that leads me to creative works
