"The more think about something, the more draw it to you"
The movie 'The Secret'
My name is Jihoon Yang and I am passionate about improving the lives of others through design. I am constantly trying to experience new things and find insight every day. I love meeting people who are motivated and unafraid of sharing their ideas with the world. I believe in the power of experience design to delight and excite people with an action as simple as pressing a button.
I am a product designer, currently with Naver’s App Design and Architecture Studio. During my 7+ years with NAVER, South Korea’s top IT and search engine company, I contributed to improving the experiences of 42 million NAVER users at the Media Design Team (2014 - 16), NAVER`s App Design and Development Studio (2016 - 20) and joined Blog and Influencer studio(2020 - present). I graduated with a B.A. in Multi-media Design at Hongik University.

More about me
In the past Writing diary
My oldest habit is writing a diary. I prefer to write it down by my hands even in this age of digitalism. I have written one diary per year, which now become a dozen for 12 years. This is a moment of allowing me time to myself. Writing a diary is my daily routine during night hours which helps to organize my worldly thoughts and freely erupt my feelings. Sometimes, the old diary offers me a time trip to my old days who wandered from good to bad or from hot to cold. One of my bucket lists is to publish my diary to the public. Because it is too honest to be fun.
At present Eat Pray Love
Eat Pray Love starred by Julia Robert is one of my favorite movies. She made her mind boldly to out of her comfort zone and find a life focusing on three essential moments- eat, pray, love- as a human being. This rings my heart since those three words are so simple but powerful enough to earn happiness. Eating something means winning energy, and praying pursues to find self-awareness and inner peace. Loving someone gives me happiness through my loved ones and family. Going beyond my comfort zone and stepping ahead, I keep eating, praying, and loving even at a challenging time.
For the future Spread my wings for the next 70 years
- My rosy future would be exploring a new world and exposing myself to diverse cultures.
- To relieve my stress and get calm energy, yoga, and meditation would be essential.
- Eating less meat and buying eco-friendly goods or products with less packaging is one of my goals.
- To this end, I would like to follow and support the environmental activities done by Greta Thunberg (*a young Swedish environmental activist).
