I turn sound, touch, and light into playful experiences. I design interactions people feel with their whole body, not just their eyes.

Design You Can Touch, Hear, and Play

Hi! I'm Jiwon Yang, a designer working across physical computing, interactive installation, and creative coding. I build things that respond to , and awake many different senses.
