Yerin is a San Francisco-based Industrial Designer.

Graduated from ArtCenter College of Design, Yerin has previously worked in the charging & energy at Rivian, and Caraway kitchen tools & appliances at Box Clever. She is currently expanding her expertise in the EV charging industry with Voltpost.

Yerin is passionate about integrating advanced technologies into daily life through soft, warm, and friendly design- interceding between the emotional realm and the complex challenges of bringing products to market.

Yerin enjoys spearheading the future of the industry with fresh ideas and new perspectives based on a deep understanding of people and a systemic approach to user experience.

Yerin believes that good design comes from a positive and open mindset and the courage to question the status quo. Working in a multi/interdisciplinary team, Yerin's work also partakes in tying different disciplines together through vision and distilled stories in between the processes, to propel collaboration and clear decision-making.

Outside of design, you can find her training in sports, conquering the best bakery shops in the city, or looking for cats.
