I'm Soovin Choi, a dynamic UI/UX designer with a passion for crafting immersive digital experiences. Hailing from South Korea, my journey in the creative realm has taken me across borders, shaping my perspectives and fueling my artistic drive.
My design perspective is informed by a range of experiences: working in retail, where I was recognized as “Best Customer Service Employee” across H-Mart Vancouver branch network, volunteering as a translator at a Korean Buddhist temple, and managing design projects in my university media team. These roles have strengthened my ability to understand users, coordinate teams, and execute projects effectively.
With a BFA in Digital Media Arts from San Jose State University, I combine creativity, strategic thinking, and technical skill to deliver design solutions that are both functional and impactful. I thrive in team environments and aim to create experiences that solve real problems while elevating the overall product.
