Design Advisory & Partnerships

Creating Impactful Success Stories Through Intimate Collaboration with Strategic Partners.

"I help high-potential startups and small companies without manufacturing experience minimize costly trial and error and stay focused on what truly matters.
From the early stages of product development and brand building, I work alongside them to turn ideas into reality with clarity and confidence.
Beyond delivering results, I help establish a unique design language and consistent brand voice.
Throughout the development process, I act as a mentor, laying the groundwork for them to eventually build their own internal design team.
To ensure that strong ideas from promising companies aren’t stopped by the barriers of manufacturing or execution —
that’s why I do what I do."
— Yeongkyu Yoo

"저는 제조 경험이 부족한 잠재력 있는 스타트업과 작은 기업들이 불필요한 시행착오와 비용을 줄이고, 본질에 집중할 수 있도록 돕고 있습니다.
제품 개발과 브랜드 구축 초기부터 함께하며, 아이디어가 명확하고 안정적으로 현실화될 수 있도록 지원합니다.
단순히 결과물을 제공하는 것을 넘어, 각 회사만의 디자인 언어와 일관된 브랜드 보이스를 구축하고,
개발 과정에서는 멘토로서의 역할을 수행하며, 장기적으로는 내부 디자인팀을 스스로 갖출 수 있도록 기반을 마련해줍니다.
좋은 가능성을 가진 아이디어가 제조나 실행의 장벽 앞에서 멈추지 않도록 —
이 일을 계속하는 이유입니다."

  • PARTNER : 11+

    At 11+, we crafted a modern and elegant design ethos that is both affordable and accessible to all. As the design partner, we established a cohesive design language across branding, product design, and packaging. In just two years, we successfully built global brand recognition, and our work continues to influence the landscape of minimal design.

  • PARTNER : Dot Inc

    In our first strategic partnership with a startup focused on creating products and services for the visually impaired, we engaged in a comprehensive project that included initial branding, product design, envisioning, exhibition, and website development. We also conducted extensive manufacturer investigations to ensure consistent brand identity and world-class product quality. This project significantly enhanced brand value in the market in a short period and played a key role in attracting substantial investment. Notably, the Dot Watch, which eliminated design disparities between the general public and the disabled, had a profound social impact and received global design competition awards.

  • As a strategic partner, we are responsible for the visual design language of Cotons AI, creating a cohesive language across branding, product design, packaging, UX, UI, and exhibition design. Additionally, we play a key role in investigating manufacturers and establishing development structures and systems to ensure high product quality.

  • Building on our successful partnership for the visually impaired, we’re excited to begin a new collaboration with a cochlear implant company to support the hearing impaired. We look forward to what’s ahead.

  • We’re now beginning a new journey with a non-invasive glucose monitoring device — designed for the future of health. Stay tuned.
