About Me

I'm a UX designer interested in designing empowering, memorable, and inclusive digital experiences!

My Story

Hi there! I’m Irene and I am currently pursuing a masters in Human Computer Interaction at Georgia Tech.

I came to the United States in 1998 as an enormous, chubby baby. I grew up with one of those classic, fat desktop computers during the age of dial-up connection, and I was a gaming maniac. I learned to code in high school and naturally, when it came time to choose a path in college, I would choose computers.

Although I started my college career in computer science, after an extraordinary English course involving multimodal writing projects, I became interested in the space between technology and communication. I graduated from Georgia State University with a degree in English, Rhetoric and Composition and a minor in Computer Science.

I became interested in HCI after my exchange program in Seoul, South Korea where I worked with a team to build a VR escape room game and evaluate it through usability studies.
