My name is Ryan and my Korean name is Dawoon; a name that is deeply rooted in my identity as a person and designer
As a designer, I specifically enjoy the process of development with different teams. Despite complex industries such as VR & AR and sustainability, my goal is to uphold the creativity and approach to see how we as innovators can make ideal solutions. However, my life was never like this
From art, I transitioned into design, a similar yet new field that allowed me to apply my visual principles and understanding of different mediums to create experiences for audiences in a more modern way
A simple dot on a small piece of paper jumpstarted my design career. By studying how dots can be used to create patterns and spaces, I learned to visually communicate through digital design. I thought I was designing for myself, but I was actually designing for other people. Through the natural discovery of product design, I found a way to directly solve problems to help people visually and functionally. All it took was a simple dot on a piece of paper
Aside from profession, I love to experiment and get creative with cocktails through their base, spirit, and garnish. It's a hobby I enjoy and I love to get to know people's personalities so I can create them their own personalized drink cocktail or mocktail. During my free time, I am designing my own unique cocktail recipe book and cocktail card game. Stay tuned
