About Sarah

Hi! I'm Sarah, a Product Designer who found UX by way of visual art, informatics, and a design community that shaped how I blend them together.

Practicing visual art taught me how form shapes feeling, and studying informatics gave me a way to structure them within accessible systems. But my design community taught me neither one means much without real people testing it and pushing back on it, resulting in designs that hold up outside my own head. That collaborative, iterative side of UX is what keeps me coming back.

After closing my 20 Figma tabs, you'll find me curating indie and EDM playlists on Spotify, tending my Animal Crossing island, growing my Smiski collection, or scouting my next concert or festival.

What is "해" ?

The (hae) that appears across this site is derived from my Korean name 해민 (Hae-min), signifying someone who is bright, like the sun. It's become a way to describe the warmth, clarity, and intentionality I try to bring to my work. I'm continuously building on that, project by project, always trying to design something that feels good to use and makes users feel heard.
