spectrum.
Hyungwoo SeoA designer with a prism-like perspective.
Every designer has a spectrum of their own. Mine has grown through work across different teams and projects. I aim to create products that feel familiar from the first use and have a beauty that resonates with people.
I consider form, structure, CMF and user experience together. From consumer electronics and home appliances to mobility, I translate an understanding of use into tangible design.
