Hey, I'm Stephanie

'Capturing small beautiful moments'

It’s a lens through which I see the world and approach my work—being thoughtful, methodical, diving deep into the details, and finding joy in the little things.

About me

I’m a Korean American designer born in Boston and now based in New York City.

I studied Industrial design at the Rhode Island School of Design, and I’ve always been a hands-on person—loving the art of making things, building quickly, tearing things apart, and transforming them into something beautiful.

After being drawn to the 'intersection of design and technology', I set aside my classical training in woodworking, metalsmithing, and sewing to teach myself product design.

Since then, I’ve been building products in the tech space, from a podcasting platform created with friends from college to financial tools and B2B software serving for some of the largest companies in the world, serving billions of customers.

In my free time, you’ll find me kicking around a soccer ball or wandering around Brooklyn in search of the best cortado in the city.
