I started out my design career as an industrial designer experimenting with 3D forms and their functionality in Jomoo. During two years of design research work at LKK Design Group, I began to be curious about the complexity of humanity’s relationship with design, and how technology is radically shaping and shifting people’s minds and behavior. I am fascinated and excited about becoming a part of this ever-evolving process through developing creative approaches and new strategies.
