About Me
This is Rebecca Sngeun Noh
Hello! My name is Rebecca Noh. I'm a UI Designer currently based in Des Moines, Iowa. I am passionate about people and improving their experiences in life in any way I can.
​
Prior to pursuing fine art and psychology during my bachelor's, I was originally a biology major. Though I'm grateful to have changed my majors to pursue my passions, previously being a biology major has allowed me to gain wider and diverse perspectives, which have benefitted my designs and design process.
​
When I was deciding what I wanted to do, it felt risky to pursue a career that wasn't a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, and it made me nervous. However, I've learned to embrace and refocus that energy towards pushing myself to be the best I can be. I'm constantly trying to win the race against myself. One more step is always better than none.
What I Believe In
Work Hard, or Don't Work at all
I've always been raised to take pride in my work. My mom always used to say, "When you work, work hard. When you play, play hard." I've taken that to heart as I've grown into an adult and truly believe, in this short one life that we have, if I'm not doing my best in any task that I'm doing, what is the point of doing it at all?
Mental Health = Health
Working hard is so incredibly important, however I am unable to produce great work if I'm not okay. I've realized through the years that pushing yourself has to have limits otherwise I'll burn out, and burnout is real. I fully believe, to be able to produce the best work I can provide, I need to put my own mental health ahead and actively encourage those around me to also take the time they need to recover so that they can continue pursuing their passions at full steam.
Teamwork Truly Makes the Dream Work
As much as I love designing and working on my own, I enjoy working with a great group of team members even more. Though I'm constantly evolving as a designer, I find that being able to work with other designers helps me grow more as a designer and even as a person. I find it incredibly important to be able to work, and work well with a team. I think teamwork is one of a designer's best tools.
