At Huly Labs, the world’s largest open-source project built with Svelte, I built HulyOS as a system-level interactive environment rather than a static desktop UI, applying HUD-inspired game logic and HCI-driven perception models. This role strengthened my expertise in system-driven interaction ecosystems, now applied to Game UX, where clarity, feedback loops, and moment-based usability define player experience.

At the beginning of my career in a design agency, I worked across diverse e-commerce and mobile projects, combining analytical research with visual design for global brands. I quickly moved beyond execution, taking a proactive role in optimizing workflows and introducing scalable practices. Working autonomously in a fast-paced environment, I evolved from creating visuals to shaping how teams collaborated and delivered results. This experience grounded my approach in both user empathy and operational thinking, forming the foundation of my later work as a product designer.
