Wooyong Lee

Industrial Designer

Irvine, CA, USA
Humanism is a significant value of my design. I think the best design should touch people’s emotion, communicate with them and give unique interactive experiences.
Problem seeking, considering emotions first and finding solutions are my strengths, and these feed into my design philosophy, ‘emo-tech’ which is a technology drivenby emotion. My mission as a designer is to distribute today's technologies to the maximum number of people in the world.
I believe design could change the world. The design could be a light for people indarkness. The design could be a great food for the hungry. The design could protect someone who is in danger. Everyone has a story. I want to listen their real voice.
