Design
Shared Design Philosophy:
Both Wi-f(I) Fold and CultiLoop are driven by a common pursuit: to make technology foldable, portable, and human-centered.
The folding geometry that enhances Wi-Fi reflectivity in one project becomes a modular growth mechanism in the other—each transforming efficiency and accessibility into tangible design value. Together, they explore how form, motion, and connectivity can reshape our relationship with both digital and ecological systems.

Wi-f(I) Fold
Category: Product Design / Connectivity Innovation
Year: 2024–2025
Size: Variable (Foldable spherical reflector prototype)
Material: Polycarbonate panels, paper prototype, customized carbon steel hinges, digital 3D modeling
Description: Wi-f(I) Fold reimagines global internet accessibility through a foldable antenna reflector that bridges design and engineering. The project began with a question of inequality—how might we extend Wi-Fi access to regions where conventional infrastructure is limited or non-existent? Inspired by the segmented mirrors of the James Webb Space Telescope and the folding logic of origami tessellation, the design transforms scientific complexity into a portable and deployable structure. The reflector’s 19 hexagonal panels are supported by a custom hinge system that allows the device to fold compactly, achieving a 64% reduction in surface area without compromising performance. This modular mechanism improves transportability and installation efficiency, enabling use in remote or off-grid locations. Beyond its technical achievement, Wi-f(I) Fold symbolizes the power of design to mediate between technology and humanity—using spatial intelligence, lightweight structure, and visual simplicity to make digital connectivity a universally reachable resource.

CultiLoop
Category: Product & System Design / Smart Agriculture
Year: 2024–2025
Size: 44.4 × 61.1 × 15.7 in (3D modeled dimensions)
Material: PLA, acrylic, LED light, aluminum, Arduino automation system, digital prototype
Description: CultiLoop is a rotating smart farm system that redefines the feasibility of indoor agriculture, particularly for root crops. Conceived as an evolution from the WICO Korea award-winning prototype, it integrates technology, design, and sustainability to address the rising urgency of food security in urbanized environments. The system rotates horizontally, allowing 12 modular planters to share a centralized full-spectrum LED light source, while an Arduino-based automation system continuously monitors humidity, temperature, and soil moisture. A sensor-based irrigation system ensures efficient water use, reducing waste through aeroponic delivery. Each module can be detached and cleaned independently, supporting longevity and maintenance.
The CultiLoop app provides real-time monitoring of growth, light, and ventilation—enabling users to remotely manage crops and optimize conditions for each module. Extending beyond function, CultiLoop envisions a publicly integrated farming network, where modular installations in schools, restaurants, or shared spaces promote sustainable living and community resilience. The project culminates in a package design inspired by the cultivation module itself, translating the “folding” logic into a breathable, eco-friendly container for harvested crops. Through this unified system—from design to production to distribution—CultiLoop connects individual cultivation to a collective act of sustainability.
