About
Who I am
Hi! I’m Hyeon Su Kwon (Chris), Co-Founder and Head of Product at ZoneSage and WelcomeScreen, based in San Francisco. I specialize in creating impactful digital products for both B2B and B2C users.
My Background
I hold dual B.A. degrees in Design and Communication from the University of California, Davis. After gaining experience in business strategy at a New York-based media agency, where I consulted for major brands such as Mayo Clinic, I transitioned from analyzing Excel sheets to embracing my passion for creative entrepreneurship. This shift led to my role as Co-Founder and Head of Product at a startup creating digital products, where I apply my strategic insights to drive product development and growth.
My Approach
I am a strong advocate for first principles thinking, consistently applying this approach when transforming an idea into a functional digital product. My extensive background is rooted in dissecting complex problems down to their fundamental elements, ensuring a thorough understanding and innovative solutions.
My experience spans the full scope of brand development—from initial research and identity creation to constructing a comprehensive brand identity from scratch. I integrate human-centered design principles with business objectives, striking a balance that enhances both user engagement and commercial success.
Personal Passion
When I'm not working, you’ll likely find me enjoying a Happy Hour deal or spending time outdoors—camping with friends or running to grab my favorite cup of coffee. A self-proclaimed health and fitness nerd, I stay active with running, hitting the gym, and playing golf. I'm also an avid listener of podcasts and enjoy delving into autobiographies.
