Hello, This is Jiwon.
I'm a Strategic Product Designer passionate about solving complex problems through design. With 3+ years of experience across PM and UX, I can frame the right problem — ensuring that better user experiences translate into real business growth.
I also believe every problem needs a unique approach. This mindset has pushed me to think more critically and enabled me to craft more thoughtful, distinctive solutions.
