Sanghoon Yoon (Ethan)
Tech Hardware Product Designer
Industrial designer specializing in tech hardware product design, with hands-on hardware development experience in collaboration with engineers to enhance drone performance and apply technologies for mass production. Developed a modular drone that contributed to a successful $11M investment. Additionally experienced in managing mass production and CMF development.
Design Communication Skill
At an industrial design agency, I built a solid foundation in mass production and gained practical experience with CMF. That experience also helped me grow as a communicator by learning how to understand client needs and translate them into design.
Later, at a drone company, I learned that great design means connecting technology with user experience. By working closely with developers and engineers, I sharpened my ability to collaborate across disciplines and communicate more effectively.
Ultimately, I’ve come to believe that design is more than making something look good. It’s about blending usability with technology and working as a team to create meaningful results.
I’m looking forward to solving problems through design and working with others to create innovative products.
