Taehoon Park

Award-winning industrial designer,
explores design innovation.

As a skilled collaborator, I approach projects adaptably, seamlessly transitioning between individual contributor and team player to work successfully with diverse disciplines. In a team environment, I prioritize having clear and consistent communication to streamline the development process and ensure our direction aligns with overarching goals.

As a designer, I always seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and improve my craft. I'm passionate about exploring new product trends and analyzing details, such as imagining their design intent, manufacturing methods, design for manufacturing and assembly approach, and human factors and ergonomics considerations.
