The project focused on solving user problems, data sharing, and improving the overall user experience through the introduction of innovative features.

"Jiwon stands out as one of the brightest, most dedicated co-workers I have ever met for 10 years of work experiences. During our time together for the intensive UX project, she quickly understood the essence of the problem, redefined the problem and presented it in her own way. She concerned not only the entire project, but also the details. I think her work ability about graphical abilities, design skills and analyzing big data is very enough for the real working-level. Overall, her performance was highly satisfactory. She is able to effectively communicate her ideas and solutions to the co-workers, and her ability to adapt and respond to their needs was highly appreciated."
