Undergraduate

A designer who believes that we never stop learning and has a passion for product design, user-centered design, and design research. I believe that a good designer cares, not only for aesthetic of things but also its impact to the world. I am still exploring and sharpening different tools in my industrial design toolbox, but I hope that in the future, I can use my skills for good.
