Hello👋 I'm Sueyoon,
Sueyoon is a user experience designer & researcher based in Amsterdam. She creates immersive yet comfortable experiences with design and technology through a user-centric approach. She currently works at Distributed & Interactive Systems group at CWI, designing a social VR lobby for shared opera experiences using Unity3D.
She pursues a healthy and sustainable life and also new challenging experiences. She wakes up with yoga practice and a morning diary and consumes fruits every day. But she is also a breakdancer and drummer. These core values naturally blend into her creative works. Her experience of studying and working in three countries - Korea, China, and the Netherlands - has shaped how she sees the world. Every off-hour, she is now working on building a productivity mobile application using Flutter as a project manager and developer, and a design mentor, with her little designer sister living in Korea.
