Hyouk Seo(Spemer)

I am a Digital Product & User Experience Designer and web front-end developer, and I build products grounded in human-centered design. I love digging into how users actually behave and solving problems through research, data, and user feedback. Building products that are meaningful and genuinely helpful is the most rewarding part of my work — I approach it with a "Human Experience Advocate" mindset. I majored in Graphic Design at Incheon National University.

Recommendations 

Lee Mungue

Frontend Engineer at MyMusicTaste, worked with Hyouk on the same team
As a UX/UI designer, Hyouk Seo has both great design insight and strong fluency with a wide range of tools. I've been consistently impressed by his perspective and effort in this field. He stays on top of new trends and isn't afraid to take on something new. Hyouk also has solid development knowledge, which makes collaborating with him much easier. I'd call him a "full-stack designer."


Jang Hanbyeol

UX/UI & graphic designer based in New Jersey, alumna with Hyouk
It's rare to come across someone like Hyouk. I've known him for the past five years as a colleague at university. He is highly productive, hardworking, and skilled in UX/UI design with a strong technical foundation. He's also a great source of information about the latest design trends. On that basis, I happily recommend him as both a friend and colleague.
