I am a multi-faceted UX/UI designer
Hi, I'm YouBeen! I'm from Seoul, South Korea currently based in Oakland, CA. I'm thrilled to have you here and share my passion for UX/UI design. As a UX/UI designer, I believe in the power of creating meaningful experiences that enhance people's lives. I bring unique blend of creativity and problem solving skills to the table as my background in Fine Art painting.
In this digital space, you'll fine a collection of my work, where I've had the opportunity to solve complex problems and craft intuitive user interfaces. Each project represents a unique challenge and an opportunity for me to delve into research, wireframing, prototyping, and user testing, all while keeping the user at the center of my design process.
My goal as a UX/UI designer is to make a positive impact on people's lives by designing products that are not only visually appealing but also highly functional and accessible. I firmly believe that user-centered design has the power to transform the way we interact with technology, making it more intuitive, enjoyable, and inclusive.
Feel free to explore my portfolio, where you'll find detailed case studies that highlight my approach, methodologies, and the outcomes of my design solutions. From mobile applications to web interfaces, I've had the privilege of working on these projects that have honed my skills and fueled my curiosity for innovation.
I am constantly seeking opportunities for growth and learning, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any feedback, questions, or potential collaborations. I'm excited to connect with fellow designers, developers, and industry professionals who share my enthusiasm for creating exceptional user experiences.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio, and I hope you enjoy exploring my work as much as I enjoyed creating it!
