Hey Duolingo,

Hey Duolingo,

Hey Duolingo,

Hire me as your next Senior Product Designer

I'm Hyeji Han, a NYC Product Designer passionate about turning complex problems into simple, delightful experiences. Over the past 3+ years, I've designed healthcare and fintech products that balance user needs, business goals, and accessibility. Currently crafting member experiences at BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina.

For the past 3+ years, I've designed digital experiences that help people take action, build habits, and navigate complex systems with confidence.

My background in Sociology sparked a fascination with how people learn, stay motivated, and change behavior. Today, as a UX Designer at BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, I transform complex healthcare experiences into intuitive products used by millions of members.

Joining Duolingo would be an opportunity to apply that same passion to a mission I deeply believe in: making learning accessible, engaging, and rewarding for people around the world.
