Nice to meet you.
I'm a designer, artist, coffeeholic, and cat person, with weaving mind and poetic touch. Brought up in international environments across Korea, China, and the United States, I am skilled in hybrid cultures, multi-lingual communications, and shifting perspectives. I focus on crafting impressions and atmospheres through designing the journey of captivating visual experiences. I specialize in connecting interdisciplinary ideas and metaphors — threading and making meanings.
I'm currently based in Los Angeles, recently acquired M.F.A. Graphic Design from CalArts.
