Hi, I'm David 👋

I'm a UX/Product designer experienced in designing complex B2B platforms as well as high-engagement B2C digital products.

In the last 10 years, I've:
✨ Led digital transformation of insurance management platform at EIS Group,
✨ Designed the industry leading Digital Experience Platform (DXP) at Liferay,
✨ Collaborated with clients in various industries (such as e-commerce, healthcare, enterprise security technology, etc.) at a digital agency.

The claims management system was a legacy enterprise application to which, over time, features had been added incrementally without workflow redesign. I led the redesign of the end-to-end claim handling workflow.

🗣️ Kind Words from Others

🧑 On the More Personal Side,
I grew up in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷  and moved to the U.S. 🇺🇸 at 16.
I laugh more at Korean jokes 😆 and work better in English 🧑‍💻.
When not designing, I work on writing ✍️ and illustrating 🎨 a picture book for children.
Have any question or would like to work together?​​​​​​​
