Hi, I’m Jiyeon. I’m a designer from the Bay Area, CA. 

I studied Industrial and Product Design with a minor in Human Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University.

A background in fine arts and sculpture make aesthetics, craft, and conceptual meaning crucial to my practice. As a designer, I aim to give beautiful form to empathetic and effective solutions. The implicit goal is to design products that not only look, but also do good: establish meaningful impact that endures beyond the physical. 

Currently, I’m at Telos Health, designing a first-generation surgical robot that will dramatically expand access to stroke care. Previously, I was at Petit Pli, an innovative material technology company based in London best known for creating the sustainable fashion paragon Clothes that Grow.

Let’s make good things ︎

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
