Bio
Hannah Heejeong Lim
Joe and I collaborated for the internal product ideation competition at Samsung. Joe is a talented designer with passion. During the competition, he helped us build a prototype with great user experience. He also contributed to the team by leading ideation, user interviews, and presentation. I knew we could not win the competition without him. It was such a great pleasure to work with him. I would love to collaborate with him in the future again.

Joe interned with us in Summer 2016, and supported our team on a variety of projects, supplying deliverables across camera interfaces, on-boarding experiences, competitive research, personas, research summaries, app interfaces, and Arduino prototyping. He approached each task with diligence, enthusiasm, and efficiency. He brought his own knowledge of best practices, and was eager to learn new techniques and ways of thinking about process. We feel very lucky to have worked with him and were sad to see him go back to school.
