Previously Sung has led UX/UI design efforts for Samsung MILK VR, Sam's Club mobile shopping app, 7-Eleven.com, FedEx Office workstations, Starbucks promo campaigns, (PRODUCT)RED website redesign, and Bud Light’s first mobile site. In 2013, Sung quit his full time job to pursue a passion project and started a company with $8K in his bank account. To fund the project, he moved into his parents' house, sold his car for $5K, raised $10K from a Kickstarter campaign, and worked 120 hours a week on a number of contract jobs. But after 3 years and $300K+ of development efforts, the project ended up failing. Sung is now a Lead Product Designers at Amazon and recently launched a new tire installation service that became #3 top selling service on Amazon in 3 weeks.
