about me
thanks for stopping by—
hi! i’m yeju (pronounced yeh-joo) — a seattle-based product designer who blends 5+ years in customer service with research-driven design and an eye for visual storytelling.
I especially love connecting with small business owners and folks in the restaurant industry — there’s something special about designing for people who pour their heart into what they do.
outside of work, i’m always trying new hobbies and food spots :) check out some of my interests below!
if you'd like to chat about anything, feel free to contact me at kimyejuu@gmail.com.
