Won is one of those teachers who can change your life — if you let him. He changed mine. In my four weeks of working directly with Won, I've grown more as a designer than I have the past year, and I owe a lot of my progress to him. Brutally honest, constructive feedback and high expectations. He's going to tell you exactly why your design could use more work — he's not going to tell you it's good when it's not. But when he does, you know you really nailed it.

Won has always been at the cutting edge of everything digital. I consider him a rare digital breed, as he possesses creative and technical skills all in one package — great design skills and a very detail-oriented eye, especially when it comes to motion. Combine that with expert-level development skills and you get Won. He is passionate about his work and will not settle for anything but perfection. If you're looking to push the envelope with your digital project or team, Won is a must.

He has high expectations and gives honest feedback, all with the intention of making those around him better designers and professionals. He’s one of those instructors who is not going to let you settle, always pushing to ensure you are producing your best work.

Won is not only one of the greatest design leaders in the world, but he is also one of the most important people to learn from. I wouldn't be where I am today without having him as my mentor.

Won has the very rare ability to see products at both the micro and macro level. He understands every detail and worked with our team to isolate the pieces that could be improved for maximum impact. As a leader, Won shows great respect for those he manages. His critiques are pointed and actionable, giving designers the opportunity to improve their process and skills. My continued success as an experience designer is due in large part to learning from and working alongside Won.

I've never had a manager quite like Won. His ability to understand design, technology, and business holistically is rare, and it helps him lead teams and design products that push the entire company forward. With a high bar for excellence, he mentored me from someone relatively new in the field to thinking strategically about design beyond what I thought was possible. He's been a critical part of my career, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Won is a dedicated mentor who encourages quality and thoughtful design. He distills his experience with clear communication, always taking the time to show examples of design concepts. Any question related to understanding the developer side of things is always answered. Thank you, Won!
