Hello! 안녕!

My name is Vera Yesel Park. I was born in South Korea but raised (and currently residing) in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I graduated from USC with a B.S. in Business Administration and have a background in mobile applications and education. I recently received my M.Ed in Learning, Design, and Technology at USC Rossier to combine my dedication for education and UX design. Working full time while also being a full time graduate student during the COVID-19 pandemic is a great indication of my work ethic.

Reflecting on my career choices so far, I realized the common thread among them was that I loved solving problems. I guess this was unavoidable, as one of my guilty pleasures all throughout my life was solving jigsaw puzzles.

This combination of my love for problem-solving and design brought me to UX design.

As a designer, I treat each piece of information I find as another puzzle piece in completing the giant puzzle.

I use an iterative process because there is always something to learn and improve upon.

When I am not solving UX problems, you can find me with my dog, Eggie, and my rabbit, Bori, out on the trails or just all over the Bay Area exploring - especially for food!

I absolutely love writing on a white board and sometimes, you will even find me in the classroom solving math problems with 2nd graders!
