Sharon Dayoung Lee

Aloha! I'm Sharon, a product designer born in Seoul, Korea, raised in Hawaii, and currently designing in New York City🗽

First of all, thanks for visiting my space! You might be wondering why I have two names up there; Dayoung is my given name and Sharon is the name my friends know me by!

Right now, I'm studying Interaction Design @svaixd. Previously, I studied Communication Design @cmudesign.

If you are into 35mm, zines, interior design, fashion, and are a foodie, I would love to chat!
