About
I don’t trust assumptions.
I test before I design and measure after I ship.
Dean Yoo · Product Designer · Chicago, IL · Available for work
The work here started the same way every time: a product that launched before anyone checked whether it worked. At one of these companies I ran the first usability test it had ever done.
I’m the kind of designer who will defend a decision if the research backs it, and drop it the moment it doesn’t. I study at SAIC, live in Chicago, and share a desk with three cats.
