Design is Loving Others! This is my favorite definition that I always try to put into practice. After establishing INNODESIGN US in Silicon Valley in 1986, I’ve been working as a Design consultant in Korea and US simultaneously and have witnessed how society’s perception of designs has changed over time. Nowadays, being “good to look at, easy to use and easy to manufacture” has become the criteria for any good design and of course, they must be created in par with the fast evolving technology of the moment. Design has become the career of visualizing humanity’s dreams.Just as society’s changing at breakneck speed the sensibility and lifestyle of humans should become more and more fundamental to any design. Designers should be confident that designs created from the ‘heart’ will move and touch the consumers. I, as a designer, want to dream with you about the wonderful and innovative future that designs create for us.
