Designing AI-powered products with speed, clarity, and systems thinking.

Hi, I’m Sharon — a senior product designer based in Richmond, Virginia. I craft AI-powered solutions at Blaze.ai, a Series A startup helping small businesses market smarter, and previously designed at Skillshare, an a Series E EdTech platform for creatives.

My design superpowers: creating designs that drive real business results, solving complex problems with systems thinking, and using visual storytelling to align teams. I began my career as an art director before earning a Master’s in Experience Design from VCU Brandcenter to transition into tech.

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, marking my path from Seoul to the U.S. and beyond. I captured this story in a logo of three interconnected circles, embodying my heritage, growth, and love for iterative design.
