Hi! My name is Homin Lee, and I was born and raised in the Republic of Korea.
I have always had an interest in people and this has evolved into a desire to help other people. Since I was in
elementary school, my habit has been sketching things and changing shapes. As I learned more information about
industrial design, my dream developed in the direction of becoming an industrial designer. That is the main reason I
came to the US after graduating high school in Korea.
Before I start studying industrial design by my major, I thought industrial designer is just a person who sketching
products. However, after I start to study design, I realize that an industrial designer can provide people living more
convenience and better life quality after research and deep thinking. It means good design can be able to serve
people better life. That is why I want to be an industrial designer.
I completed my military service with the 22nd Division in Korea, which is located near the north-east front line at
the DMZ, and I was a team leader for 11 months. Patrol GOP was a really challenging time in my life, but, through this
experience, I learned about leadership, responsibility and loyalty. I think working for a company requires similar
attributes. A product can’t be designed by a single industrial designer. I have learned how to socialize and work well
with others, and also how to lead people if a situation arises where I need to serve as leader. I always take pride in
and responsibility for my work, and so I always try to complete tasks to the best of my ability.
