In the weeks leading up to our Seoul adventure, we diligently forged a solid working relationship, delved into comprehensive research of the company and the South Korean context, and honed our skills in design thinking principles. As we touched down in Seoul, we were fully prepared to hit the ground running, poised to maximize the value of our ten days together. [...]
