Hi 👋 My name is Hanara - a self driven UX/ Product Designer currently studying Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington.

Having spent the past 2 years having experience in product design, project lead designer, and a research assistant, I have not only developed robust problem-solving skills in design thinking, but also a flair for project management.

In my latest role, I was involved in the startup's core strategy and product development, collaborating closely with leadership to bring an AI-powered leisure and travel app to life.

When I am not designing, I like to watch K-dramas or animations like Studio Ghibli or Disney!!

How I got into design —

Growing up with my grandmother, who faced challenges with English, sparked my interest in customer experience and advocating for underrepresented voices in technology. Using a mix of Korean language and drawings to communicate with her allowed me to explore my artistic side.

Additionally, witnessing my mother's impactful work as a UX designer inspired me to pursue a similar path. My goal is to leverage my emotions, design skills, and problem-solving abilities to create an inclusive environment where individuals can be their authentic selves.
