Episode 507 – The Collection with Huck Gee – Part 13: J*RYU
The Collection returns for another year on the Adventures In Design airwaves and Huck and Mark bring J Ryu on as their first guest. J Ryu has a beautiful and delicate ornamentation found across his work that places his work in another time. Between his sense of style and rich pop culture knowledge, he adds a whole new layer to The Collection we have yet to hear from a designer. Meanwhile, Huck has been hard at work as he adds another production technique to his at home arsenal of toy making gadgetry. This DIY approach offers some cost-cutting and time-saving tactics Huck employs, but there is still some research to be done and we get to hear some of the results straight form the mad scientist himself.
