Creative Characters S5 E1: Nerding out on 3D type and creativity with Taekyeom Lee.

“  I think playfulness is an extension of our intellectual activity because it’s not always practical or efficient, but when we enjoy moments of play they provide us with an ‘aha’ moment of discovery. ”

On Creative Characters, we meet creative people working at the intersection of type and everyday life. You can listen below, or on Apple, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and wherever quality podcasts are available.

Ever wondered what happens when you combine ceramics with typography and throw in a DIY 3D printer for good measure? Join us for a delightful chat with Taekyeom Lee, the graphic designer and educator who takes typography off the page and into the third dimension. 

Host Doug Wilson dives deep into Taekyeom’s inventive world where letters become slinkies, and business cards are embossed on demand. From his adventurous journey from South Korea to the cornfields of Illinois to his experiments with clay letterforms, Taekyeom shares his love for typography and how he turns ideas into tangible art.

If you’re into design, creativity, or just curious about how technology can transform art, this episode’s a must-listen. Check out Taekyeom’s work at instagram.com/taekyeom
