Work/Play: Idris Solomon & Miro Yoon

​Join us for a chat with Idris Solomon and Miro Yoon as they share insights into their professional work and process, with a focus on the role of photographic imagery in design and creative direction. This conversation will explore how personal experiences, identity, and lived realities shape creative practice and influence the way we communicate visually.

​Our speakers will discuss the strategic considerations behind their work, the importance of understanding audience needs, and how personal identity can be meaningfully integrated into both the classroom and professional practice. Through this dialogue, students will gain deeper insight into how design can be a catalyst for change and how they can harness their own perspectives to create meaningful and impactful work.

​Timed after the completion of the students’ first project output, this session will also offer an opportunity for reflection, feedback, and guidance as they continue to develop their own voices as designers. Whether you’re interested in storytelling, branding, or social impact, this conversation will provide valuable perspectives on making meaning.

​By treating design as a long-term dialogue rather than a transactional service, we create space for deeper meaning, sustainable collaboration, and self-determined storytelling—allowing designers to move beyond surface-level solutions and into work that fosters lasting impact.
