Internship

Hyejin Lee
Nation: South(Republic of) Korea / Field: Industrial Design

An 'anemoscope designer'. My ambition is to become a steadfast designer who is not swayed by anything but can find her paths and lead others. I have been trying to see things with keen eyes to live a leading life. I have majored in product design and worked in LG electronics and a cosmetics company. I also took a year off and worked in a product design company called IN R&D for three months. I worked in LG chemicals for three months and learned the importance of a designer's work. I will not be moved in any kind of circumstances to play the role of an anemoscope.

Jihye Jin
Nation: South(Republic of) Korea / Field: Industrial Design, Packaging

With a B.A Degree in Industrial Design from Seoul National University of Technology and some relevant experience in the design field, I feel I have the requisite skills to step into your company. For instance, I had the opportunity to design an Ipod case and interior in Knomo of London and Library Automation system in Korea as an intern. Those are in production. While interning I learned how to solve problems efficiently. I also won a prize at the KOREAN EYEWEAR DESIGN competition and Steel Furniture competition with creative, future-oriented and practical concepts. I can express my idea with delicate hand-drawing and computer tools such as a Illustrator, Photoshop and Microsoft tools. In addition, I have been acknowledged for my ability to learn and master new things. It brings me satisfaction to find solution when I design products or make a marketing plan as well as enjoy working with passionate people.

Eunhak Lee
Nation: South(Republic of) Korea / Field: Interior Design, Art Direction

First of all, I am a person who listens to others seriously and creates great stories out of them. I try to make the stories move people’s hearts. Secondly, I am like a bridge that connects people. I listen well to others and am full of consideration. That is why I volunteered to become a commissioned officer in the army. I managed to make it to the end with all the other members. I also traveled to many places such as Europe, China, and the USA. I studied clothing marketing since clothing is one of the major necessities in human life. After that, I gained a little bit of field experience. I was attracted by the fact that clothing could actually bring people together. I am now learning and experiencing more at Samsung Design Institute.

Kyungmin Yoo
Nation: South(Republic of) Korea / Field: Industrial Design

When I was middle school student, I thought what is representative of design prestige of Korea. My answer was nothing. So I determined that I will make prestige brand of Korea. That is why I started study Design. To be a representative, I have experienced many things like travel, playing instruments, ballet, volunteer activity, etc. Then I expressed design based on those but I still feel lack of my experiences. I want to undergo new cultures, changes and adventures.

Beomyoung Sohn
Nation: South(Republic of) Korea / Field: Packaging, Print, Illustrarion

I majored in visual design because I appreciated its abilities in communication among multitude of people. I can get along well with everybody and like to walk around listening to the music. I tend to make interesting design works with original concepts and ideas. I think people feel visually entertained when they find out that a familiar concept is somewhat changed but its theme stays unchanged. No matter how beautiful the work is, it still needs to express the theme clearly. I always try to keep me reminded of the thought that ‘concepts and ideas determine the style.' I would like to be a designer who can entertain both the users and the creators. This does not seem like an easy job at all since time is limited, and I have to act like a professional. However, if I can keep trying my best to find out the best solutions, I am sure that I will be able to achieve the greatest of my work and enjoy the outcomes.

Minjung Lee
Nation: South(Republic of) Korea / Field: Interaction Design

Life without passion is of no use. I was just a child who liked to paint, and that brought me here. My parents did not want me to become a designer, so I had to convince them that I could do this because I had passion and strength in it. I had many experiences during my university life. I took a year off to study English, mailed all the professors in a university in the US, and got to study in that school for 1 semester. I want to learn more about global markets and cultures in a wider world.
