UI/UX Designer · Daegu, KR · Open to remote
Hi, I'm
GYEONGHUI JEONG
I began my journey as a maker, working with my hands. The very hands that once cut, welded, and grappled with the physical properties of metal now shape digital screens. Yet, the core essence of my process remains unchanged: identifying problems, redesigning, and bringing solutions to life. Today, as a UI/UX designer, I focus on crafting intuitive interfaces that guide users effortlessly.
My Journey
From metal to pixels.
I studied Metal & Jewelry Design at Konkuk University, where I welded, carved wax, poured silicone molds, and worked hand-in-hand with fabrication vendors — laser cutting, anodizing, plating, and welding. Making a real object taught me that a design only succeeds when it survives contact with reality: material limits, structural stress, and the way people actually use it.
How I Work
Identify
I start by finding where a design breaks — the real problem behind the brief, not just the symptom.
Redesign
For my tensegrity stool, the first prototype failed — wire rope peeled and the structure was unstable. So I switched the material to aluminum rod and refined the process.
Bring to life
I validate every form — once with 1:1 paper mockups, now with interactive prototypes — before committing to the final build.
Beyond Work
Worldbuilding
Off the screen, I build imagined universes — their rules, their stories, their inhabitants.
AI & VR
I'm most curious about where AI and VR take human experience next.
Let's build something intuitive.
