Creative designer

Hi, I'm Geon Kris Yoo, a UX designer with over 10 years of experience in the tech industry. I have a proven track record of success in designing user-centered experiences for a variety of platforms, including mobile, web, and enterprise software.

Originally from Seoul, Korea, I've been living in the Seattle area for the past 10 years. I graduated from Art Center College of Design with a BFA in Graphic Design, where I specialized in branding and interactive media.

I am passionate about using UX design to create innovative and user-friendly products that make people's lives easier and more enjoyable. I am excited to learn about the future of UX design, new aesthetics in creativity, and the opportunities it presents to make a positive impact on the world.

Work experience

I started multi-media design, but from there, my interest in motion and graphic design gradually shifted toward user experience design.

I collaborate with multi-disciplinary product teams to create compelling product user experiences from start to finish. I've worked on consumer products including Samsung Galaxy device experiences, Mobile operator's required services such as Real Time Text solution. I've also worked on enterprise products including Microsoft cloud device management, Intune for Education, and UX simplification for generalists.

Passion in design work

What I love about UX design is there's always a complex problem to solve and the opportunity to learn new things every day. I take the time to understand the user's needs and pain points, and then work with multi-disciplinary teams to find the best solution. I use my hard skills, soft skills, and accessibility knowledge to connect all the dots. I'm always looking for new challenges and excited to see what the future holds for UX design.

Lately, I rediscovered my love for motion and coding. I am having a lot of fun visualizing and animating static elements to make them move like fluid. I believe that motion can be a powerful tool for enhancing the user experience, and I am eager to explore new ways to use it in my work.

Other interests in life

In my spare time, I enjoy listening to world eclectic pop music, watching historical drama, scientific, and detective series focusing on how the characters solve problems or dilemma. I'm fascinated by how people from different cultures and backgrounds approach problems, and I find that watching these shows helps me to better understand the human condition.

I'm also an avid reader and traveler. I love learning about new places, languages, cultures, and I find that travel helps me to gain new perspectives on the world. I am also a proud pet parent of 2 big dogs and 1 giant cat.
