- I¡¯ll tell you a story about a young designer who was born on January 17, 1982.
This person has been drawing and making things since he was 2.
Thinking is not his type.
Unless it becomes a might.
His father always told him
¡°If you do something, never give up easily.
Just try and try, don¡¯t take it rapidly.
Always dream big, aim high to reach the sky!! ¡±
Reading Thomas Edison¡¯s biography motivated him to study religiously.
Following his footsteps unconsciously.
At present, he¡¯s one of the brightest stars at Hong-Ik University
Taking up industrial design for his maturity.
recently, He has started to spread the wings
for a wider world that brings¡¦.
Who¡¯s he?
Yes! It¡¯s me
I¡¯m Kun-woo Yi!
A person with an artistic mind with a flexible personality.
An energetic, passionate, confident and ambitious morality.
Whenever I dream,
I make sure that I mean!
My brain and hands never stop working until the time /that I¡¯m dying.
If you want to see my flight to the sky,
Come with me and let us fly.
If you are interested in me, please, refer to my resume
.I hope to become a member of your design team as soon as possible.
For if we work together, nothing is impossible..
Thank you.
