1st prize at the
International Design Joint Workshop
Special thanks to my teammates: Sooyeon Kim, Youil Ko, and Zhipei Lim
This is a one-week design challenge revolved around 'VISIONS OF SMART MOBILITY IN 2025'. During the project, team members from four different design schools closely collaborated on a last-mile mobility solution for future citizens. With team effort, we brought up the design from zero to concept level.
Envision the future mobility
