Accessory Design
Long journeys strongly influenced my design aesthetic. I got inspiration from sketches that I draw while traveling. The geometric pattern is inspired by looking up at the night sky on a journey.

Mimi/Pet Hair Designer
Ryan/Dog Trainer
I interviewed with pet care professions like Mimi. She’s a pet hair designer, and she usually cleans the floor with a wet towel under her foot.
I asked Mimi, “What do you think is the best way to control pet allergies?” Mimi said, “Of course the best way to control your pet allergy is keep pets outdoors; however, these options are not always possible or desired.”

PET ALLERGIES - SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES
Animal hair is one of the main reasons for pet allergies. Even though pet lovers are allergic to animal hair, they still want to touch their pets. Allergy Free Pet Friendly Clothing allows allergic pet lovers to feel their pets without fear of skin problems.

Time Sensitivity
Concept Web System Design The Book Mark web browser application that already exists is not an efficient research tool. Instead of recalling specific information within a web page, it recalls the page as a whole. My application, Contents Recall, is more time efficient because it pulls up only a specific highlighted portion.

After observing a person who is a multimedia student at UArts. First, I observed his schedule and found he usually studies at least 3 days a week.

These pictures are most interesting to me because of what his hands are doing. His hands look busy: He is typing, flipping the book pages, and making notes.

Reading Books
This is a visualization of his study habits for about 3 hours between 4 and 7pm. Before he starts studying, he first cleans up his desk for a better study environment. Then, he starts studying on the computer, reading books, and making notes.
Sometimes he checks his phone and face book for refreshment. These activities are a distraction from his studying. After 1:30 of study, his concentration peaks, and after 2 hours, his concentration starts to get lower.

High-lighting on multiple windows
Arlum: What is the purpose of high-lighting? Jeseok: To remember what I am reading. Arlum: Do you have any problems in your reading process on the web? Jeseok: No, if I can remember all my high-lighted content on the web. I read the same article repeatedly. Arlum: I feel the same, when I look for multiple resources for writing an essay.
