사용자와 함께 울고 웃고 놀기를 좋아하는 기획자이자 디자이너 김민수입니다. 
영국의 킹스턴 대학교와 왕립예술대학원에서 제품 디자인을 수학했습니다. 영국의 가구회사 오픈데스크, 일본인 건축가 테루노부 후지모리, 크라우드펀딩 플랫폼 메이드닷컴 탤런트랩 등 저명한 클라이언트들과 함께 작업하며 기획 및 컨셉 아이디어 도출부터 제품&공간 디자인, 영상편집 등 다양한 분야에서 국제적으로 능력을 인정받았습니다.
주변에 대한 저의 끊임없는 호기심이 우리 일상 속 사물들에 새로운 가능성과 가치를 불어넣는다고 생각합니다. 또한, 디자인이 보다 지속 가능한 사회와 환경을 만드는 최전선에서 중추적인 역할을 해야 한다고 믿습니다. 
현재는 브랜드 전략 및 경험 디자인에 대한 열정으로 학습을 병행하며 국내 인하우스 디자이너로 재직중에 있습니다.
