인터렉티브 테크놀러지스트 at Firstborn | 테크놀러지, 디자인

뉴욕, 미국

윤용호는 지난 12여년동안 인터렉티브 개발자로 활동해오고 있으며 한국, 홍콩, 영국 그리고 현재 미국에 이르기까지 인터렉티브 디자인을 주도하는 리더로서 인정을 받아오고 있다. 특히 최근에는 물질 공간과 인터렉션 디자인과의 교차점들을 찾는 작업들을 하고있다.

런던 예술대학에서 Interactive Media 석사를 전공하였으며 그의 졸업작품인 “Ensemble - Interactive Musical Instruments"는 Flashforward Film Festival 2008 San Francisco에서 ‘Experimental/Art’ 부문을 수상하였으며 2008 Adobe Design Achievement Awards에도 노미네이션되었다.

윤용호는 2007년에 세계정상의 디지털 샵인 런던에 위치한 Unit9에서 인터렉티브 개발자로 일하며 Philips, Samsung, Nestle, Heineken과 같은 클라이언트들을 위한 웹 사이트 개발을 하였으며 특히 유명한 "Got Milk?" 캠페인 작업을 하였다.이후 2009년 8월에 뉴욕으로 건너와 현재까지 디지털 에이전시인 Firstborn에서 SoBe와 Wrigley와 같은 클라이언트 작업들을 해오고 있다. Computer Vision,  Multi-touch와 같은 테크닉을 이용한 작업들에 중점을 두고 있으며 한 예로 ‘DoflBall’이라는 아이패드 게임은 단순히 사람과의 플레이가 아닌 애완동물들과의 플레이가 가능하도록 접근한 게임으로 큰 관심과 함께 성공을 거두었다.


DoflY. H. Yun is an interactive developer with over 12 years of development experience and he has established himself as a visionary leader in interactive design in South Korea, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and more recently in the USA. His recent work focuses on exploring the intersection between physical space and interaction design.

Dofl received his MA degree in Interactive Media from London College of Communication, University of the Arts London with a thesis entitled: "Ensemble - Interactive Musical Instruments." His MA thesis won the Experimental/Art category at Flashforward Film Festival 2008 San Francisco and was also shortlisted for 2008 Adobe Design Achievement Awards.

Dofl joined Unit 9, a highly acclaimed digital creative production company based in London as interactive developer in October, 2007 and he developed numerous award-winning Flash websites for high-profile companies including Philips, Samsung, Nestle, Heineken and for the famous ad campaign "Got Milk?". Since August 2009 he has been working for Firstborn. Since he's been there, Dofl has developed numerous applications for clients such as SoBe and Wrigley. Much of his focus is on technologies like computer vision and multitouch applications. In fact, he recently released a popular iPad app, DoflBall, an air hockey game that you can also play with your pet. Dofl hopes to continue to educate his coworkers with his constant influx of discovery as well as give lectures to larger audiences.

당신의 직업을 선택한 배경 및 계기?

대학시절 Computer Graphics을 접하면서 자연스레 컴퓨터를 이용한 디자인 작업을 접하게 되었으며 멀티미디어라는 개념이 생기면서 자연스게 프로그래밍을 접하게 되었습니다. 이런 배경을 기반으로 현재 Interactive Technologist라는 영역의 일들을 하고 있습니다.

자신만의 작업방식은?

손이 빠른 편이라 정해진 일정내에서 가능한한 많은 시간을 아이디어 구상에 시간을 할해하는 편입니다.

영감은 어디/무엇에서 받는지?

특별히 정해진 룰을 없으며 첫눈에 사랑에 빠지는것처럼 대부분 우연찮게 영감을 얻게 됩니다. 이런 아이디어들은 일단 포스트잇에 간단한 스케치와 메모를 해서 모니터 주변에 붙여 두었다가 아이디어를 쓸 수 있는 프로젝트를 기다리게 됩니다.

창작인으로서 가장 중요하다고 생각하는 것

끊임없는 열정과 지치지 않는 추진력.

창작인으로서의 목표

제가 일하는 분야에서 일인자가 되고 싶으며 많은 분들에게 자극과 영감을 주는 사람이 되고 싶습니다.
