About

Hello! I'm Yusun, a product designer with a strong foundation in visual design and a passion for creating intuitive, user-centred experiences. My journey began in visual communication design, where I learned to craft compelling narratives through visuals. However, I wanted to go beyond aesthetics—to design experiences that truly connect with people. This led me to interaction design, where I blend visual storytelling with user-centred problem-solving. Collaboration is at the Heart of My Work I have worked with multidisciplinary teams, collaborating with physical product designers, marketers, and business owners to bring ideas to life. From industry-academic projects to freelance work, I have partnered with people from diverse backgrounds, learning to bridge different perspectives and translate them into meaningful design solutions. As a team player, I thrive in collaborative environments, always bringing positive energy and enthusiasm to keep teams motivated and inspired. I enjoy fostering open communication, aligning business goals with user needs, and turning complex problems into solutions. I believe great design is a team effort, and my goal is to build digital experiences that not only solve problems but also bring people together, creating a more connected and impactful world. www.yusunjeon.com

🏆 First Prize | Showcased at Design Korea 2022 Our four-member team (1 Physical Product Designer, 1 UX Designer, 2 BX Designers) collaborated on a brand experience (BX) design for a credit card aimed at teenagers. We developed the brand identity using space exploration as a metaphor, representing a teenager’s first journey into the financial world.

My Role & Contributions - Brand Concept & Identity Development – Shaped the overall brand story and design system to ensure a cohesive identity. - Service Flow & User Journey – Designed an intuitive experience to guide teenagers through their first financial steps. - Mock-up Production – Helped create realistic prototypes for the Welcome Kit, Mobile App, and Wearable Device. - Collaboration with UX & Product Designers – Worked closely with teammates and received insights from Samsung Card designers, refining the experience with expert feedback. By integrating BX, UX, and physical product design, we created a seamless, engaging, and immersive brand experience for young users stepping into the world of finance.
