Nice to meet you. I'm Irene!
I recently graduated summa cum laude from the University of Minnesota with a B.S. in Product Design and minors in User Experience and Entrepreneurship.
I’ve always loved making things, from creating paper computers as a 1st grader to designing (actually functional :)) products today. Over time, my curiosity about how people think and my love for problem-solving led me to product design.
My design experiences span everything from digital tools for health and travel to public service platforms and even a STEAM toy that made its way to IP acquisition. At the center of it all, I love the iterative nature of the design process because I’m constantly learning. I’m passionate about drawing meaningful insights from user research to ensure my work is genuinely intuitive, inclusive, and useful in everyday life.
Outside of design, you can usually find me curating way too specific Spotify playlists, fishing for good sushi spots (see what I did there 𓆟), hitting the tennis courts, or planning my next road trip.
I’m excited to keep learning, exploring design corners, and collaborating with others. Feel free to say hi!
