I’m Trent, a Korean American designer in Austin, TX. Currently working at IBM — concentrating on comprehensive product experiences and design systems.

My focus is on the humanity of what I'm designing and looking for its potential. I seek out those visceral feelings innate in us to help me identify those perspectives we don't understand.

Born in South Korea, adopted, and raised in Minnesota. I enjoy a good Neil Gaiman and Scott Snyder novel in my downtime, cooking to 80's power ballads, and adventures with my pug, Ruby.
