ABOUT

Hello!

My name is Na Eun (now-in), an Industrial Designer based in Los Angeles.

Growing up, I was always curious about how things work in the world, combining practical and hands-on creative thinking to find a new way to thrive.

As a Designer, I'm drawn to the space where strategy, systems, and sustainability collide. I build products, systems and interactions, sustainable opportunities for people and communities. Through passionate research, I want to uncover people’s values, what makes them feel secure and free. I discover opportunities that support their lives, while mitigating our impact on the planet. Through design, I create meaningful experiences that support people and communities, allowing them to thrive.
