Most of his works start with observing people and making meaningful interactions in the physical environment. Previously, he worked as an industrial designer, and/or interaction designer.
Recently, his practice has focused on developing tools that augment or mediate the body and mind at the intersection of technology and design. His work has been recognized and presented at various prestigious venues and events, including the IDEA (International Design Excellence Award), Core77, SXSW, Fast Company, the Science Museum in London, the Venice Biennale (TIME SPACE EXISTENCE), Seoul Design Week, and major Human-Computer Interaction conferences such as ACM CHI, DIS, UIST, and IEEE HRI.
