Dr Indae Hwang is a Melbourne-based interactive artist and designer, researcher and lecturer in the department of Design at Monash University.
Before commencing his academic career at Monash, Indae Hwang worked as an art director for Pentabreed, a design firm based in Korea, for four years. His main interest has been to design meaningful user experiences with new emergence of digital technologies. His interests have been reflected in diverse commercial works with leading companies of the industry in Korea, such as Samsung and LG.
