I set out to explore new horizons, diving into the creative waters of design while navigating a fresh path forward.
I know it might sound a bit cheesy, but desperate times call for desperate measures, right? 😉
Ahoy! I’m Chan Ik Chris Jung, but you can call me Chris (hence the “Aka” in my branding). I started my career as a video specialist, helping agencies navigate the unpredictable seas of the broadcasting world. I was part of an incredible crew, solving all kinds of technical challenges with clever solutions to keep operations running smoothly.
While I valued that experience, I wanted to chart a new course and grow as a user experience designer. Here, I’m honing my skills to craft designs that truly connect with people and bring a little extra brightness to their days.
