Hello, I am Haley.
As a UX/UI designer, my journey has been shaped by a deep sense of empathy and a passion for creating meaningful connections.
I grew up on a small island in South Korea, surrounded by a close-knit community where elders played a central role in shaping my understanding of care and service. There, I learned that it’s about truly listening, understanding, and creating solutions that make a real difference.
I believe that great design doesn’t just solve problems. It creates connections and enhances lives. That’s the philosophy I carry with me as I continue to grow as a UX/UI designer, and I’m excited to bring this mindset to the next stage of my journey!
I believe UX is about creating experiences that help people thrive.
I learned it through my volunteering experience in Cambodia
The room without light bulbs gave us a space to teach and learn. It wasn’t perfectly lit, and darkness crept in as the day ended, but it provided a dedicated place where knowledge could be shared.
The muddy playground encouraged children to run and play. It wasn’t just a cleared space. It was a haven to form friendships even with the cows around, bringing happiness despite the difficult surroundings.
The old bicycles gave families independence. They weren’t just a mode of transport. They enabled children to travel to school and carried bags of rice that sustained households for months.
The plastic bag protected knowledge. It wasn’t just packaging. It kept a child’s study materials safe, ensuring they could continue learning despite the elements.
The bucket of water supported hygiene and care. It wasn’t just a container. It allowed children to wash their plates, reinforcing responsibility and cleanliness.
The worn-out wagon fostered community. It wasn’t just a cart. It became a shared space where students placed their lunches together, turning a simple meal into a moment of joy and connection.
