Have you always
wanted to become a designer?
I was good at drawing since I was young, but I didn't know well
about a designer as a job at that time. When I was a freshman in high school, I
had thought that I wanted to be an astronomer because I was so interested in
astronomy. Soon, I realized that becoming a designer is what I can be happy in
my life.
Which project has
given you the most satisfaction?
Ringo is the most. I was fully absorbed in user's needs and
environments at first. Also, other teams in my company worked so hard for this
because they were convinced of my concept and design. I think it is the reason
that customers' satisfaction and sales performance of the Ringo are so high.
What types of books
are on your bedside table?
These days, I’m reading “Design Activism” by Alastiar
Fuad-Luke. I’m interested in appropriate technology and social change, and
thinking about the role of designers for sustainable world.
What is the best
moment of the day?
Well, when I’m in a hot bath tub.
What would be your
dream project?
I can’t imagine the specific form of my project yet, but it
can be so worthwhile that if my design is helpful to underprivileged people’s
lives.
What type of music do
you play while creating?
I don’t listen to music while creating. If I'm listening, I
will be so into the music and can't work because I love listening and singing!
How important is
craftsmanship in your design process?
I think craftsmanship is the most important factor to design
even though a project is trifling.
Who is your hero at
the moment?
My parents and parents-in-law.
Cat or dog?
Neither. I’ve never had a pet.
If you were a
character from a cartoon, which one would you be? :)
Iron man! Smart, handsome, humorous, and has many clever
iron bodies!
If you could do any
other job what would you choose and why?
As I mentioned, I would be an astronomer. Or, I would be a
travel guide or a guest house owner because I like traveling and meeting with
various people from other town or countries!
Where could we find
you on friday night?
Unfortunately, I would be at home because I recently moved
to this town, Long Island, NY. I hope to be in Manhattan on Friday night soon!
What is the most
inspiring pieces of furniture for you to design and why?
I admire Charles and Ray Eames and Finn Juhl as perfectly aesthetic
furniture designers. Moreover, I like the bright ideas of Campeggi’s furniture.
Favorite blogs / sites
etc.?
Facebook…?!! And I like my blog. http://meui-in-ny.tistory.com I’m
sorry about that it is all written in Korean, but this blog is about my
personal daily lives. After I made this blog, my family and friends don’t need
to worry about me anymore.
I recently turned into a freelance designer, so I’m trying
to settle this issue.
What brings you joy?
Having good relationships with new people!
