Hello!

My name is Na Eun (now-in), an Industrial Designer based in Los Angeles. Growing up, I was always curious about how things work in the world, combining practical and hands-on creative thinking to find new opportunities to improve people’s lives

As a Designer, I'm drawn to the space where strategy, sustainability, and products collide. Through sustainable design, I hope to create meaningful, joyful experiences that support people and communities thrive through future generations
