Bio
Sarah Plewe
I had the great pleasure of working with Sangho at Mercedes-Benz Research & Development in the Advanced User Interaction Group. There are not a lot of designers out there that can handle the ambiguity and uncertainty that comes with working in an R&D environment - Sangho excelled at it from day one. He's extremely creative, dedicated and highly skilled in many design disciplines. In addition to being an outstanding designer his team spirit and positive attitude made working with him a great experience. He'll be an invaluable asset to any design team he decides to join, and I hope I get to work with him again in the future!

Sangho worked for me at PlayStation, and he was an awesome addition to the team. He came in with tremendous talent, but little experience in the specific UX deliverables we needed to create. He was enthusiastic and eager to learn, and quickly got up to speed. More importantly, he always went above and beyond what was asked, spinning up side projects and pitching original ideas and concepts. His passion for great design shows in everything he does, in his work as well as in how he presents his ideas. He is collaborative and receptive to feedback, and is willing to do whatever the team needs to be successful. I have no doubt that he has a long and storied career ahead of him.
