Hi, I’m Young.
🌙23.31 in Helsinki
A senior product designer with ten years of experience making complex products and services easier to use.
I spent five years in agency consulting for major Korean companies, then moved to in-house product design in Finland. Most recently, I worked at Thermo Fisher Scientific on lab automation and instrumentation products.
I’ve lived in South Korea, the US and Finland, which has shaped my curiosity about people and different ways of life.
Experience
Owned UX design across eight applications and embedded interfaces for IVD and clinical lab automation, including multilingual web apps for international markets. Built the shared design system from scratch and led user research onsite in Finland and Sweden.
Designed and prototyped a new UI concept for the Top-task Bank website, validated in workshops with employees, club leaders and instructors.
Led end-to-end design for connected products and services, from research and concept to UX/UI, testing and delivery, for clients such as Samsung Electronics, Samsung C&T (Raemian), Hyundai Innocean and SK Telecom.
Designed products and services for Korean clients including Hyundai, LG, SK Telecom and KORAIL, working closely with the London studio and interpreting at stakeholder workshops in Korea.
Taught digital design and visual communication.
How I work
Learn from the people closest to it
Through interviews, observation and workshops, I find where people struggle, then turn it into concepts we can test.
Design with engineers
I work closely with engineers on constraints and what to build, thinking about both the screen and where it’s used.
Bring people together
I present ideas, facilitate discussions and help stakeholders agree on priorities. Sometimes I manage delivery too.
Work across cultures
Tech, healthcare, manufacturing and public services, plus a London studio team. I make space for different views.
Outside work
Learning, growing and having fun matter to me.

Open to product design roles, and always happy to chat about design and AI.
