Hello, World.
My name is Nayoung Kim.
"I wanted to go out into the world and test myself,
to move from this to that, to explore as much as I could."
"Hand to Mouth" by Paul Auster
I am an enthusiastic psychologist and user experience researcher & designer who wants to contribute to providing an equitable digital world for the minority, such as people with disabilities and older people. As a Psychology major specializing in human behavior and cognition, I aim to bridge the gap between psychological insights and user-centered design, creating seamless and intuitive experiences in digital interfaces.
Get to know me
Built identity and values by growing up in a multicultural environment.
I was born in South Korea and lived there until I was 16. My ethnicity and nationality are formed in Korea; however, I have been profoundly shaped by the diverse cultures, beliefs, and perspectives surrounding me by growing up in the United States since high school.
Enjoy alone time to take care of myself.
Interacting with others also inspires and encourages me to expand and develop my perspectives; however, I love to have time to take care of my mental by doing what I like, such as going to a coffee shop alone and reading books.
Sharing foods, Sharing Love
I like cooking and baking at break time. These are the kinds of ways I relieve my stress. Also, cooking or baking for families, friends, church people, or others is one of the ways I express my love to them.
Reframe the world through a new lens.
Filming photography or videos is a thing I do often as a habit. I memorize and reframe my life and the world through a camera and profoundly interact with others by sharing it.

Ten drawing papers in my hands
After the onset of the pandemic, I started to enjoy exploring and bringing my imaginative ideas and designs to life through the nails on my fingers by doing gel nails myself at home. My nails are the smallest drawing paper I have!
