A Little about me

Hell0 there, I'm Soo!

I am Soo Hwang, an evidence-driven product designer captivated by connecting people and spreading new mindsets with design and technology. Currently, I am a Master’s student in Human-Centered Design and Engineering @University of Washington. I would describe myself as highly curious and love to learn new things in all parts of life, personal and professional. I studied Art & Technology @Sogang University, an interdisciplinary major, so I learned UX design and programming. Previously, I interned at an IT drone startup as a UX designer in South Korea. This summer, I worked as a Product designer @C3.ai, for the enterprise financial application using AI / ML technologies. As a highly curious person, I love to meet new users daily, explore their problems and create design solutions. In my personal life, I spent a lot of time getting new inspiration by exploring new places and meeting new people. I love to explore new tech software to enable my life to be more efficient and fun. I always try to be a constant learner in everyday life, trying to change and self-reflecting to learn new things.
