about me

내 이야기

I was previously employed at JILA (joint institute of Colorado University and National Institute of Science and Technology) as a professional research assistant working directly with scientists and researchers to transform their ideas and discoveries into visuals such as diagrams, 3D illustrations, animations, and interactives.

 

To me, science is beautiful and full of wonders. However, for many people, the beauty and wonder get buried in texts that are only read within the science and research communities. My hope has been to create engaging visuals and make them available to the general public allowing more people to appreciate the beauty of science, art, and technology. I am still collaborating with scientists as a consultant for NIST as well as at Columbia University. I am also employed full-time as a Sr. UX Architect Specialist for Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal. Such unique academic and private sector settings have allowed me to pursue new modalities while exploring intersections in my current body of work.

 

Throughout both my career and my pursuit of personal projects, I have successfully envisioned, designed and executed new technologies through complex problem solving and a nuanced understanding of the users’ needs and expectations. My background in computer engineering, science, and art, has facilitated the ease with which I collaborate in environments of unique individuals such as artists, educators, scientists, researchers, technologists, designers, and other visionaries. My dedication to deepen the capacity to understand and affect how art and technology can change our relationship to education, play, design, and communication, fuels my own vision and amplifies the visions of my colleagues.

 

My current projects, such as the Tumbleweed app project, remixology projects with my art collective The Goddamn Cobras, visualizations with the international scientific communities, and my UX work with news media and financial data, all involve a delicate balance of user-centric design and its facilitation of art, technology and science. My passion is combining symbol representations with abstractions of data to create new visual componentry while exploring the potential scope, through questions I’ve yet to ask, of playful interactions, as a means to cultivate learning through a narrowing of the divide between work and play. I strive to cultivate continuous curiosity, to reframe how humans think and connect to new technologies, and to one another.

 

I am always excited to work with scientists, researchers, technologists, and educators to create visuals and designs for their various needs. If there is anything I can do for you, please with the form below.  You can also check out my Services page.

2015.5

Organize and remotely lead a highly specialized Agile team to design and build a comprehensive personalization platform as part of the global-wide launch for the Wall Street Journal redesign project.

2012.1
DJ Chat Communications Platform

DJ chat was designed and built from ground up within 1 year and designed to be used by WSJ editorial staff, customer service, DJ employees, Institutional clients, and consumer level products (WSJ and Barrons subscribers). It incorporates features such client side encrypted direct messaging, group messaging, video chat, file sharing, voice messaging, and screen sharing. The direct messaging interface supports emojis, emoji auto complete, and img URL rendering (including gifs).

2015.1
Streaming Stories

The challenge of this project was to conceptualize how a “stream” of content could work on WSJ and network for both desktop and mobile experiences. A stream is a single page (or mobile view) that a reader can leave open and watch the news develop in real-time (without reloading). The stream includes headlines, articles, breaking news alerts, markets data, documents, photos, Twitter tweets, and generally any new information about the subject or event. My team used WordPress CMS which allows the editors to quickly setup and manage a stream. Streaming Stories project would be the first WSJ product to use the new responsive/intentional design framework as well.

2014.1
Map of the Market

Market heat maps are an established niche data visualization of financial data. I was given the opportunity to apply my ideals of a user interface that combines WSJ’s streaming news technology with a heat map visual. The Market Map represents financial data alongside a correlating stream of live news giving users a real time view of the market while allowing navigation of data through the market sectors and/or news stream.

2013.1
DJX News Data Platform

DJX web-based platform that combines all of Dow Jones’s newswires, its private equity and compliance databases, market data, market-moving Dominant headlines, and Factiva—which provides access to the news archives of a wide range of other publications. I was involved with user research and testing, architecting the global environment elements, designing several of the data modules, and exploring the mobile experiences.
