Skills/Programs

Hello, my name is Yeowon Lee. I'm a product designer with a strong foundation in UI/UX design, enriched by skills in illustration, animation, and branding. I create and maintain cohesive visual identities across digital products, ensuring consistency and clarity from concept to execution. With extensive experience in complex, cross-functional environments, I’ve led UX initiatives for both small startups and large teams, always aiming to deliver intuitive, user-centered solutions. I communicate clearly and concisely with stakeholders, developers, and team members—bridging creative vision with technical feasibility. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite as well as Figma, I also leverage HTML and CSS knowledge to design practical, scalable interfaces. I work fluently within atomic design systems, ensuring design components are reusable, consistent, and developer-friendly. Collaborative, thoughtful, and solution-driven, I bring a positive attitude and strategic mindset to every challenge. On a more personal note, I enjoy reading, painting and writing short stories. I am also an animal lover, I live with smart assistant designer cats named Poko and Teko.
