Jooyoung Oh, Design Researcher and faculty member

"Design Research is like studying mushrooms. We take a look at, smell, taste, touch and feel it. We study the environment, soil and plants around it. We study how it interacts with other species. The best way to get to know the mushroom is to become one."
