Tell us a bit about yourself.

I’m a 28-year-old mechanic specializing in truck maintenance. I live in Korea and have a strong passion for cars and machinery.

What’s your favorite item on your desk?

My favorite item is the keyboard. I really enjoyed the process of building it and replacing various parts along the way.

What books, blogs, or podcasts recently caught your attention?

Recently, Futureterior launched in Korea, and I’m also active on My Deskterior, which has become a major interest of mine. I really enjoy sharing and exchanging ideas with others in both communities.

What's your desk setup aesthetics?

Maximalist, black, and mechanical.

When did you start to work on your desk setup?

It’s been a little over a year.

What does your typical day look like?

After work, I typically spend my time using the PC or watching TV.

What niche interest are you up to recently?

I'm very interested in creating stands with 3D printers and developing hover products using magnetic fields, along with a passion for car-related objects.

Your advice for beginners getting into Desk Setup.

Just do it :)

Any tips for other makers who want to improve their workspaces?

When starting out, it’s best to buy one product at a time rather than overwhelming yourself with too many at once. This approach helps create a more harmonious workspace.
