Hello ! I'm Heeji. Some people know me as Jolie. Born in Korea 🇰🇷, moved a lot 🇨🇳🇨🇦🇬🇧, came back.
I am an HCI researcher and a MSc. candidate in the Department of Industrial Design at KAIST, where I explore the intersection of physical and digital interaction in Make Lab led by Prof. Andrea Bianchi.
My research is on creativity support tools. I build systems that let people steer computational augmentation at the level of their creative process — not just at the level of individual outputs.
Before joining KAIST, I earned my B.S. in Culture & Design Management from Yonsei University, working across AdTech and Blockchain, also founding an F&B startup.
