Hi, I'm Avigail 👋🏻
I’m a Product & Brand Designer with 9+ years of experience across Korea and Canada, focused on designing digital products that balance user needs, business goals, and brand clarity.
My work combines product thinking, user-centered design, and visual direction. I’ve contributed to end-to-end UX processes—from research and journey mapping to high-fidelity prototyping and developer handoff—while adapting my role to the needs of the team and project context.
Most recently, I worked on Townty Sports INC., a mobile sports platform that helps amateur athletes find fair matches, book venues and referees, and earn match-based income. I collaborated closely with product managers and engineers to support scalable, research-driven design decisions.
I’m motivated by problems where logic, emotion, and strategy intersect, and I enjoy working with cross-functional teams to build thoughtful, practical products with real-world impact.
