It is a journey of exploring objects within relations. Along with having a longstanding curious, crafting relationship with designs, the idea of ‘Open Relation Design’ arose from witnessing the unfortunate phenomena of today’s products ending up in a landfill. This constant changing state of relative design and appreciation of aesthetics, led me to the conception of an ideology, that well designed products often emphasize the intangible relations between users and products. ‘Open Relation Design’ is a holistic idea I found that is designed to have a room for growth with users accommodating with material, shape and emotional properties with an ‘intended openness’ within.

LG Open Innovation / designing the future of LG’s home entertainment products 2014 The goal of this project is to develop innovative/creative concepts for LG’s Open Innovation on Home Entertainment products. Through research, ideation, testing and documentation performed by a multidisciplinary, we are expected to propose concepts related to the area of home entertainment system, TV remote and soundbar in this project. a group project with Sae Joung Kou In the group with Sea Joung, I mainly focused on generating optimal forms and functions based on the problem we both researched. After sketching out possible concepts, I explored them through testing out with CAM (computer aided manufacturing) and 3D printing and such.

Ring Remote
The Ring Remote brings a new form for a remote controller that standing itself which offers users interactive it without picking it up and holding it their hands. Instead of use of overwhelming and confusing button, the remote is operated with its unique circular digitized display placed underneath the matte coated glass. Buttons on display change contents depending on purposes accordingly.

Joanna Stool
Design for one
User-oriented design Joanna Stool was inspired by a studio friend who suffered from minor back problems. An interview was conducted with Joanna in order to design a personalized stool. It is custom fit to support the discomforts of her body. Additional features were added to be user friendly. Joanna Stool is a conceptual design based on the interview with Joanna.

The interview
“As 5 year old Joanna souring 6 feet above the air you could only imagine the endless possibilities running through my tiny head.”
“I love working in the studio, but it gets lonely sometimes. Working inside a studio all day reminds me of my father back at home. My father is a hard working man who spends most of his time in a studio just like me.” “I probably spend more than half of my days here now... I miss my old man and that old rugged throne of mine. I used to call his shoulders my throne because he would always give me a ride on his shoulders as a little girl.”

Silverphone / cell phone for the elderly 2012 a group project with Elizabeth S. Schultz, Zane Coffic, Jung Min Lee In this group project, I initially contributed to bring a foundation concept, the fragmented display-keypad, and later took the charge of visualizing the form in which the round, turtle shaped cell phone device and the tablet came to life. I also suggested the color scheme with silver on the outside and red inside as it was a popular color style in the 50’s and the 60’s.

Silverphone
Mobile Life and Elders Designing phones for the elderly presents many challenges and is a well researched field. These phones are highly simplistic and only do the most basic cell phone tasks: calling and receiving phone calls, entering contacts, and sometimes texting.
The issue with elderly cell phones now is that they are not keeping up with the new technology. This is the issue that our group is trying to fix in the most simplistic and easily acceptable way.
The Personas Elizabeth and Stan are an elderly couple whose children are very enthusiastic about them getting a smart phone.
With their smart phone, their children would like them to have daily medication reminders, internet access to facebook, and a calendar. The problem is that Elizabeth Stan do not want a new phone, they already have a Jitterbug and they just got used to it so they are reluctant to learn how to use a new phone. Sung Jun Kim 2015
Silverphone 39
Objectives and Constraints Elizabeth and Stan have problems with hearing, mobility, and eyesight.
In order to solve both Elizabeth and Stan’s unwillingness for new technology and their children’s request for them to get a smart phone, we are going to incorporate schedule and record keeping methods that they already use into a user friendly phone.
We want to incorporate invisible technology. That is we want there to be new smart phone technology incorporated into our phone without the user being aware. This will take away added confusion as well as make the similar to the Jitterbug.

Since the majority of target users are baby-boomers, who were the most active between 60’s and 70’s, it also adopted design languages from that era such as tear drop shaped form and red and silver colors.

Currently in the market, there are some cellphones specially designed to target elderly people. Those phones, examples above, are commonly designed to have enlarged buttons and texts for easy to press and read, louder speaker, simple and straight forward interface and functions for easy to operate.
Looking at contextual ideas of turtle, its iconic image for elders in many cultures for those long lifespan, slow and steady appearance, the shape of turtle can be not only familiar but also it gives an extra dimension and meaning to the product.

Silverphone is a cellular phone solution designed for the parents of the baby boomer generation. For easy handling it features a button for easy opening, a necklace loop, for easy access,and an intuitive interface based on the jitterbug interface that the user is already familiar with. The docking station incorporates a handwriting recognition capable tablet that converts handwritten notes into usable data and a barcode scanner for medication scheduling, so the Silverphone can always keep the user informed about contacts, family affairs, medication, and their daily schedule.

From dots, lines, spaces to times In contrast with Western culture, Koreans have always revered nature (as evidenced by their architectural principles) while Western was about making nature work for them. Inspired by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dangsan Treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, sacred trees that is believed to have holy power in Korean culture, this installation art symbolizes the connection in between nature and human by bypassing white elastic cords from the walls around the tree. The tree distorts the surface created by multiple layers of cords by blocking the path of them. The intention of this installation the man-made objects interact with nature-made.

Tree of Passage SUNG JUN KIM
From Dots, to Lines, to Surfaces, and to Spaces The facade is created by connecting nails on the walls facing each other with white elastic strings and it encloses the tree in between; however, the surface of the facade is distorted, deformed, and regenerated by the tree which is located in the passage of the lines. Inspired by Korean culture that reveres nature (as evidenced by their architectural principles) while Western is about making nature work for them, this facade changes its surface according to the tree intentionally symbolizing coexistence of human and nature in our daily life. The lines from the nails changes its visibility according to the amount of sunlight, while dramatically falling leaves are captured in the strings, becoming additional elements to the installation.
