Todak – Todak
Health Service • Thesis Design

Todak is a self-led co-design project with a family of Korean cultural background, nurturing caregiving practices from pregnancy to motherhood. Designed to foster intimate connections, it adapts to the evolving dynamics of family life, facilitating communication through physical and emotional transitions. Inspired by cultural traditions, Todak-Todak reinterprets comforting spaces into a flexible furniture set that supports well-being, belonging, and empowerment of the household.
‘it‘ that surrounds
Biodiversity

The project seeks to integrate the cultural and ecological significance of Habitat Island with the rapid urbanization of its surrounding neighborhood. It That Surrounds is a storytelling ritual designed to preserve and communicate ecological knowledge through a mindful practice of reciprocity with nature. This ritual invites individuals to reconnect with the land, fostering a deeper understanding of its biodiversity and cultural value.
Making body
Health Service Research

This research and design response project centers on the development of empathy, material agency, and material exploration.
A body-focused design addresses physical and emotional needs encountered throughout pregnancy and motherhood. Making Body is a nurturing setting that fosters a sense of comfort within the living environment, supporting the well-being of the fragile body and its support systems.
K’Werk
Interactive (toy) Object

An educational shape-making building set K’WERK [Kinder Works].
The set explores effective ways to connect and build with simple elements, allowing children to engage in imaginative play and problem-solving. This approach supports cognitive development, encourages independent thinking, and promotes active play in a safe environment. Designed for 4-10 year old children.
Cork
Material Study

The material study is guided by a trial-based, iterative design approach focused on exploring the combination of cork and adhesives. Additionally, we experimented with incorporating used coffee grounds and investigating their interactions with the material and adhesives. Through research into cork’s mechanical, physical, and biological properties, we aim to innovate the materiality and life cycle of cork when combined with a diverse range of self-made, natural, and biodegradable adhesives.
