Amazon graphic and user experience (UX) designer Ji-won Jung is making waves by implementing Inclusive Design that prioritizes digital accessibility and user convenience.
Jung currently manages the web interface design for Amazon’s corporate recruitment platform, which draws tens of millions of visitors annually. In addition to optimizing the user experience so job seekers can intuitively navigate essential information, she participates in projects that utilize human-machine interface (HMI) technology and enhance digital accessibility for vulnerable populations.
Key projects include Amazon’s ‘100,000 Veterans Hiring Campaign.’ Jung served as the UX designer for the initiative, designing user interfaces to help veterans and military families more conveniently access and utilize employment information.
Prior to her current role, Jung created promotional illustrations for financial mobile applications broadcasted in over 100 countries at Apple. Later, as Head of Design at San Francisco-based medical technology company Uniform Teeth, she developed medical packaging that balanced patients’ psychological experiences with the functional demands of healthcare.
Her packaging designs have earned over 12 international awards, including the Red Dot Design Award in Germany, the New York Type Directors Club (TDC) Award, and a Bronze at the A’ Design Award and Competition. Jung focused on visually communicating product functionality and brand identity throughout her design process.
Additionally, beauty and personal care packaging projects involving Jung have won gold at the Muse Design Awards, Tokyo Design Awards, and London Design Awards, as well as a silver at the Rome Design Awards.
Having built her career in graphic and UX design centered around New York and Silicon Valley, Jung now serves as a judge for over eight international design competitions, including the A’ Design Award and Competition, the Globee Awards, and the American Business Awards.
Jung stated, “We will continue to develop inclusive design solutions that enable all users, including individuals with disabilities, to access services intuitively and conveniently by leveraging design systems combined with HMI technology.”
