Hi 안녕하세요, I’m Evelyn 채원!

올해 5월 미국에 있는 Cornell University에서 UX/UI 디자인 전공으로 졸업했습니다. 새로운 환경에서 살아보고 싶은 소망과 함께 뷰티·패션·엔터 산업에서 UX/UI·콘텐츠·브랜딩 디자이너로 성장하고자 한국에 오게 되었습니다. 학부 시절, Design Consulting at Cornell이라는 동아리에서 활동하며 앱 리브랜딩 프로젝트를 산업체 클라이언트와 함께 진행했습니다. 저는 UX/UI 디자이너이자 프로젝트 매니저로서 팀을 리드하고 일정 관리를 수행하며 높은 책임감을 가지고 결과물을 완수하는 경험을 쌓았습니다. 저는 외향적인 성격으로 협업에 강점을 가지고 있으며, 아이디어를 주고받는 과정에서 서로의 경험에서 배우며 집단적으로 창의성을 발전시키는 것을 즐깁니다. 또한 모든 프로젝트에 열정과 긍정적인 마인드로 임하며, 어떠한 도전과 어려움이라도 성장의 기회로 보고 항상 팀에 활기차고 협력적인 에너지를 더할 수 있도록 노력하고 있습니다. 그래서 가능한 한 많은 경험을 쌓으며 사람들에게 더욱 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 디자이너로 성장하고 싶습니다!

This May, I graduated from Cornell University with a major in Information Science, concentrating in UX/UI Design and Behavioral Science. Wanting to step outside my comfort zone, I moved to Korea to pursue my passion for growing as a designer in the beauty, fashion, and entertainment industries. During my undergraduate years, I was part of Design Consulting at Cornell, where I collaborated with industry clients on app rebranding projects. As both a product designer and project manager, I had the opportunity to lead a team, manage timelines, and take ownership of delivering strong, impactful results. As an outgoing person who thrives in collaborative environments, I find joy in exchanging ideas, learning from others’ experiences, and cultivating creativity as a team. I approach every project with enthusiasm and a positive mindset, seeing challenges as opportunities for growth. I always aim to bring vibrant, cooperative energy to any team I’m part of. Looking ahead, I hope to gain diverse experiences and continue growing into a designer who creates meaningful, positive impact in people’s lives!
