It's good to meet you. I'm a Korean-American, writer, startup enthusiast and designer with 6 years of experience. Born and raised in NYC.
I like to break down complex problems into analogies to find hidden connections, which allows me to rapidly test different solutions. The most important thing to me is working with good people and creating things together that change the way we think and work.
Most recently, I've led design @ Nomad Health, leading the inititaive and experience for a native mobile app that nurses across the US use to find jobs and get paid and designed for mobile experiences and families on the Verizon Family App.
Currently, I'm an Enterprenuer in Residence at Robinhood Foundation, Blue Ridge Labs.
