Ryun S.

Hey there! I'm a M.P.S. and B.A. in Information Science graduate from Cornell University. I've worked with Google as a UX Researcher, Kiss Products as a UX/UI Design Specialist, and I'm currently working at CoStar Group as a Product Designer.

My teaching and tutoring experience spans several years at Cornell University, where I served as a Graduate and Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for courses including Human-Computer Interaction Design, Qualitative User Research, Teams and Technology, and Digital Product Design. In these roles, I supported students across disciplines, guiding them through complex projects, offering one-on-one mentorship, and leading design critiques.

I have contributed to the broader UX research and academic community through research. I have co-authored three publications presented at top-tier conferences such as CHI and DIS, exploring topics like AI-assisted education, identity exploration in writing, and mindfulness technologies.

As a tutor and mentor, I am willing to teach a wide range of skills depending on each student’s goals. This includes the UX design cycle from research to prototyping, Figma and design tools, case study development, usability testing, and portfolio building. For students preparing for careers in design, I can also provide guidance on how to land a job in UX, prepare for interviews, and grow professionally in the field. My approach is interactive, supportive, and personalized—I focus on building both confidence and practical skills so students walk away with knowledge they can immediately apply.
