About me

I am a strategic design communicator with design skills proven to achieve commercial objectives. I have various experiences as a web UI/UX designer, with the role of project manager and design manager in E-Commerce. During that period, I worked in an online department store, cosmetics and fashion companies and the IT and multimedia industry as a creative and innovative problem solver.

- Creative and innovative solutions based on strategic thinking

The diversity experience of practical and strategic thinking generates creative and innovative solutions. Having identified a trend and issues in the market for interactive design of interest to leading potential customers, I developed up-to-date technological skills, offering them a number of services which were new to the market.

- Project management with analytical approach

I managed various projects, including branding guidelines for an entire shopping mall and the process of communicating with marketing staff, web developer and MD. We generated a hundred million Won (approx £54,000) profit a day by email marketing based on CRM data and trend research.

- Leadership and personal responsibility

As design manager, I was responsible for producing leading creative ideas, motivating people and using intuitive judgement for effective decisions. I also directed involvement in organizational system changes and improvements, such as work process, re-positioning of design for brand identity and new business items. Responsibility for the diversity of the e-commerce work required constant rapid response and recognising customer patterns, both intuitively and analytically.

- Holistic approach

My career, in a variety of industries has enabled me to develop excellent intuitive thinking, based on knowledge, previous experience and learning. This holistic approach has assisted me in making effective decisions. My education and proven management design skills have allowed me to gain valuable interpersonal skills. It is my belief that the designer does not merely make things beautiful, but must have the ability to plan objectively and, employing analysis and research, to communicate with customers or users intuitively.

I am confident that I can contribute to the additional success of your company, as I have the ability to recognize situations and act quickly.
