Ginmann ('JIN-mahn') is a Korean name that means "full of truth." I have a talent for championing truth and sifting clarity out of ambiguity. I'm not just a designer of beautiful screens, but a leader who can guide design teams and businesses in the right way to get to those screens.

Degree in Cognitive Science (2008)

City Year (2008-2015)
I began in Graphic Design, designing print materials for a national education non-profit. I learned how to lay out text on a page and create emotion and meaning. I also learned about the power of branding.

Wherever I go, I want to do work that matters.
