Welcome to the wayback machine of Hana! 😊
A quick intro: I am a Patent Engineer at Schox Patent Group, a boutique patent law firm working with venture-backed startups to strategize and manage patent portfolios. I graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelors of Science in CS (HCI) and Communications (Media Studies), and a Masters of Science in Management, Science, & Engineering (MS&E). I have previously worked at Meta as a SWE intern and Stanford Seed as a communications intern.
I am looking to leverage my management and technical background and pivot into product roles, namely Product Management and/or UX/UI Design roles. I am particularly interested in working with users to understand and tell their story through design, and help alleviate their pain point(s). Users take priority; the more I understand their needs, the better I can tell their story.
In my free time, I enjoy walking my dog (Loza 🦮), Djing 🎧, hiking (anything outdoorsy), attending live music events 🎶, trying new food spots 🍜, and spending time with loved ones 💖.
If I haven't scared you away, I would love to get to know you as well -- let's connect! 🙌🏾
