Summary
As an accomplished designer of electronics with many years of experience, I would like to continue and broaden my path. Having worked as a designer at Samsung Electronics for circa seven years, I have successfully completed large- scale premium TV, computer monitor and remote control projects in the Visual Display Division as an industrial designer. My TV models have also been presented at international CES exhibi- tions, and several of my designs were patented by the company. Examples of my commercial work include TVs such as the Innovative TV (KS9500 design), S9, F8000, F6300, F6100; and computer monitors such as the 5series, and the S590C curved monitor.
