Hi, I'm Kevin

I grew up in South Korea and immigrated to the United States in 2009. After living in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco, I moved to and lived in Seattle for five years, and have been back in LA since 2022—calling Hollywood home with my partner and two Shiba Inus, Vader and Ahsoka.

Most recently I was at Instacart, designing and shipping frontend code for AI-native WYSIWYG builders for emails, receipts, and websites. Before that I led design at Meta on IG and FB Shop International, and earlier worked on their proprietary design tool and design system. Before Meta, I was at Ring, where I scaled the design team from 3 to 13 and contributed to nine patents.

On the side, I’m building Humble, a social app for live music fans and artists. Outside of tech, I’m watching movies in theaters, screaming for the Seahawks, and photographing national parks.
