People tend to get used to their discomfort without realizing, and I want to bring up that discomfort.
Hi! I am Andy Cho.
I am a San Francisco-based industrial designer with a passion for creating meaningful experiences through design. With a background in both art and music, I bring a unique perspective to my work.
My fascination with mobile phones led me to pursue a career in design, where I strive to use my skills to make the world a better place. As an industrial designer, I believe it is my responsibility to identify and address problems in everyday products and create solutions that balance form, function, and technology.
I am a strong believer in collaboration and believe that working with a diverse team allows us to create impactful designs that help people navigate an ever-changing world.
