Info
My name is Angel Yoon Kyung Cho, I'm a multidisciplinary designer and craftswoman from .
I'm interested in the emotional and social impacts of technology and design, and the way these non-visible systems impact on our identities and cultures.
Using the practice of craft, Eastern design principles, and inclusive design, my goal is to build narratives that aim to serve as alternative perspectives to the efficiency-driven narratives of today.
