“Hi, I’m Paul. I hail from Detroit and Seoul, and have been living in New York City area.

I enjoy spending time with my family, playing soccer, golf, tennis and skiing.”

Experience

I was most recently a Senior Product Designer at Jetty and owned both the renter and the real estate partner experiences of the flagship security deposit alternative offering.

I studied Design & Management and spent time as a project manager at Pentagram. This experience inspired me to become a designer. I went back to school with a focus on digital design.

I started out at a digital agency, YMEE as a UI/UX designer working for e-commerce and wearable health tech clients. I transitioned into an in-house Product Designer at Mic working on a consumer news product. My expertise is in visual design, product discovery, user research, and product strategy.
