I'm an experienced UX consultant with 20+ years across finance and commerce, focused on tech-driven, user-friendly solutions. My work spans live commerce, digital banking, e-commerce, and smart-home IoT — always starting from the person on the other side of the screen.

I've led UX for Coupang's live commerce service, designed straight-through digital onboarding at HSBC in Hong Kong, set UX strategy and governance at Samsung Card, and built smart-home and next-robot UX at LG Electronics. Today I consult for startups and government projects, focusing on AI-driven design automation.
