About

Hi, I am Inwon, Co-founder and Chief Design Officer at FREN Inc. in Savannah, GA. I founded FREN while completing my master's degree in Game Development and Interaction Design at SCAD, where I developed a practice centered on simple, high-impact interaction design. Today, that foundation drives how we create immersive experiences for children's museums and pediatric healthcare.

Before FREN, I worked as a mobile product designer at Samsung Electronics, leading interface design across 30+ projects including Galaxy S, Note, Gear, Wave, and feature phone platforms. Beyond visual design, I also contributed to Android backbone-level UX structure and interaction frameworks that supported scalable product experiences across multiple device lines.

This work led to 20+ patents and technical records, with additional research and publication history documented on Google Scholar and KISTI. I also received Samsung Electronics' first iF Communication Design Award, followed by recognitions including Red Dot, UX Award, and Indigo.
