About

Products that are understandable, useful and built to last.

Hi, I'm Oybek, a UI/UX and product designer based in Seoul. I focus on creating a great user experience that also meets the needs of the business, and I design mobile apps, websites and AI products for teams in Korea and abroad.

I studied Computer Science at Seoul National University of Science and Technology and learned UX design at Express UX Academy, so I design with an understanding of how products are actually built. I enjoy working closely with developers, from research and user flows to polished UI and a clean handoff.

My philosophy is simple: make products understandable, useful and long-lasting, while accepting that they are never finished and keep changing. I'm always excited to face new challenges and problems. Outside of work I run, cycle, hike, draw and read, and I speak English, Uzbek and Korean (TOPIK 6).
