Things about me

Hi! I am Jay-Kwon Park,
a product designer, researcher, and photographer.

I took a nontraditional path to become a designer.Here is a glimpse of my rather interesting path-

SERVED in the US army as a translator.
WROTE news articles for local news media.
RECEIVED B.A. & M.A. in Arctic Research.
RESEARCHED and traveled the Arctic.
SELF-TAUGHT & also took UX courses.
LANDED my first UX designer job at Alden Image.
REDESIGNED filtering on Microsoft Clarity.
LED designs for the Surface Management Portal.

‍SEARCHING for my next interesting opportunity!

Hi again! As you may already know at this point, I am Jay-Kwon Park, a Product Designer based in Seattle, WA.

Recently, I had the opportunity to lead the design on the Commercial Engineering team under the Customer Experience and Success (CXP) department. I led the end-to-end designs for the Surface Management Portal (SMP) and the Hardware Support Portal (HSP).

I hold a master’s degree in Arctic research from the University of Washington and previously worked as an Arctic researcher at the Korean Maritime Institute. My passion for UX design emerged when I noticed that many projects lacked user research, rendering them ineffective. This realization drove me to pursue a career where I can make a tangible impact on people's daily lives.

When I'm not staring at a screen, I enjoy traveling, photography, and experimenting with colors in my wardrobe.
