Professional Summary

With a background in Human-Computer Interaction Design, Heekyoung Jung specializes in the design of information and product systems that simplify human experience with engaging user interfaces and empower human through creative and reflective practice. Her work extends to applying design as an exploratory and provocative method to investigate and reimagine the entangled relationship between humans and technology. She aims to cultivate aesthetic awareness through design research and education by unraveling entangled perspectives in complex system design, revealing hidden tensions, and visualizing invisible values. Her research interests include but are not limited to:

  • Creativity support for systematic form-making centered on aesthetics and values,
  • Enhancing the expressiveness of human-computer interfaces through sensory integration,
  • Development of use cases for human-machine collaboration,
  • Linking design theory and practice by connecting the changing paradigms in HCI research.
Heekyoung Jung publishes and reviews papers for ACM Conferences on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), NordiCHI, Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) and Tangible, Embodied, and Embedded Interaction (TEI), Design Studies, and the International Journal of Design. Her recent projects are updated at design theory in practice
