About

Hi, I'm a service designer from mostly from Seoul, South Korea. I say mostly because I spent a chunk of my youth in the states and am influenced greatly by that experience. I have a background in industrial design from the number one arts and design school in Korea, Hongik University, and have worked as a product designer in a startup company before coming to the RCA to study service design. I have recently started a blog called Future Scoping, where I write book reviews or short snippets of all things related to thinking about the future, as well as introductions to relevant projects I have done.

Statement

I'm particularly interested in speculative design, but I am also fascinated with orgnanisational design and systems thinking. In this respect, my final project has been my dream project since it has allowed me to put the three things I'm most interested in (service design, organisational design, and systems thinking) together and create something pragmatic and useful. It shows how service design can be used as an approach to continuosly address various problems in an organisation, not just as a one-time service offering. Despite its many challenges, like having to suddenly change our workshops from physical ones to virtual in a matter of days, not only have I thoroughly enjoyed each and every step of our project, I have also grown a lot, both personally and professionally.

I'm currently back in Korea for now, but I have been succesfully working virtually with co-creators and colleagues, both in London and China. We found a way to make it work, like everyone has been forced to. Although I do have a soft spot for London, I am open to opportunities anywhere in the world once the whole coronavirus situation has died down.
