Get in touch — Sharon Byun

I'm passionate about crafting experiences that are impactful, empathetic, and visually captivating.

Hi, I'm Sharon, a senior product designer working remotely from Richmond, Virginia, currently designing solutions at Skillshare, an EdTech startup for creatives.

Through projects in growth, gamification, two-sided marketplaces, and design systems, I’ve developed my design superpowers: crafting impactful designs that drive business results, solving complex problems through systems thinking, and leveraging visual communication for storytelling and alignment.

Previously, I worked as an art director specializing in brand and print design. To make a greater impact in the tech space, I transitioned my career after earning a Master's in Experience Design at VCU Brandcenter.

Fun facts about me.

At 24 weeks pregnant, I embarked on a career pivot by pursuing a Master’s degree at VCU Brandcenter. I gave birth during the winter break, making me the first new mother in the history of the Brandcenter graduate program.

In my previous role as an art director, I designed the logo for Cowboys Stadium (now AT&T Stadium), which was featured on the stadium itself, team uniforms, and merchandise. This experience deepened my appreciation for the power of impactful design.

I’m an adventurous introvert who finds joy in both quiet moments and thrilling experiences. While I cherish serene yoga sessions on my patio, I also relish exploring new horizons, like paragliding over Interlaken, Switzerland.

What's the story behind that logo?

My name has changed three times—my Korean name from Seoul, the English name I chose after moving to the U.S., and my married name after gaining citizenship. To symbolize this journey, I designed an abstract logo of three interconnected circles, reflecting my heritage, personal growth, and the iterative nature of UX design that I love.
