K DESIGN AWARD 2020
Korean Culture has become a true phenomenon such as K pop, K movie, K beauty and K drama. K Design Award is part of this wave. I was fortunate to be a jury for the K Design AWARD 2020. I always have been happy to see and learn from other designers' works. This is the way I can give back to the international design community.
3D printing as a hobby
I got another hobby besides photography this year. It all started from looking for a cheap and affordable open source 3D printer. Inserting brass threaded nuts using soldering iron to make a stronger part assembly was super fun (picture above). The more I learn how to improve the quality of FDM prints, the more I realize I need to study both software and hardware.
Asia Design Prize 2020
I've gotten many things from design industry since I started my careers. One thing that I always have in mind is how I can give back great things to design community. I believe design award jury is the one way that I can do for young generation and students. It was fortunate that I had a chance to be a jury for Asia Design Award. However, Covid-19 disabled a lot of things for young people to achieve their excellent works...
Congratulations, all participants! Awards celebration shouldn’t be like this. Every design work you submitted despite the worldwide pandemic deserves to win an award. The fact that you participated in the Asia Design Award also signals your efforts for design contribution to our world. There are too many things in our world that need your design. As a jury, I wish I could give an award to all. I was having so much fun seeing all of your design works. Please keep designing whenever you are inspired. Thanks for the award book, Asia Design Prize!
Save our customers first (COVID-19)
“Let’s save our customers first this time rather than targeting them for a design project” a guidance for my team during my meeting call a couple of days ago; Designers who are capable of 3d printing, please make Montana masks, which already passed medical grade sealing, and save your cool mask-concepts for the future.

Charles and Ray Eames House
As an inspirational trip, it was totally worth it to spend 3 hours at the Eames house in LA. I already knew I would miss this place when I left. -8th January, 2020-
