Hi, I'm Heekyeong Kim, a product designer.

I've worked across dating, education, commerce, and career platforms, building products from zero to one and improving services already in the market. Today I work as a product designer and PM at Remember, a career platform in Korea.

Early in my career, I focused on the polish of the screen. Now I care more about designing the context in which people choose something, and what that choice leads to. I believe a good product is proven not by its screens, but by how it changes the way people work. That's why I don't stop at launch. I try to take responsibility for whether that change turns into business results.

What I do now

Part Lead, Headhunting RPO

To solve candidate sourcing for headhunters through product, I'm building a recruiting agent for headhunters from zero to one. Working as both product designer and PM, I own everything from defining pain points to requirements, UX design, and launch, which shortens the development cycle by removing the handoff between planning and design. I set quarterly goals and priorities, establish how decisions get made with the engineering and operations teams, and build the metrics we use to measure the agent's impact. The goal is a product that automates sourcing and outreach, so headhunters can spend their time on candidates and clients instead of repetitive tasks.

Deputy Chapter Lead, Design

Together with the chapter lead, I run the product design chapter. I think about how designers should work and turn that into systems, and I support designers' onboarding and growth.

What I've done

Took a product from nothing to market

I joined a startup as its founding designer and led the entire product design and core planning of SERIO, a dating app, from defining the direction of the service to launching on Android and iOS at the same time. I designed the onboarding and matching flows around the idea of "serious relationships built on trust," quickly reflected user feedback after launch, and reached No. 2 in downloads in the matchmaking app category on Google Play within two months.

Changed how people work

At wecode, I designed an LMS and back office from scratch for a coding bootcamp with more than 1,000 participants. I restructured the information architecture for students, mentors, and operators, and designed role-based dashboards and automation for repetitive work. This cut the mentor team's weekly working hours by more than 70% and moved operations from manual work to data-driven work.

Grew services already in operation

At Remember, I redesigned the first-degree connection and profile completion experiences, increasing network activity and profile completeness. At Sephora, I localized the global e-commerce experience for Korean users and redesigned the main page's information architecture and user flow, contributing to a higher main page entry rate and higher sales of featured products.
