Born and raised in South Korea, I embarked on a life-changing adventure in 2012 when I moved to the United States alone, driven by the desire to challenge myself and explore a bigger world. Starting from the ground up, I interned at a logistics company, eventually rising to the role of logistics analyst. Yet, despite the success in my field, I knew my heart was drawn to design.

I worked tirelessly to fund my design studies. Balancing the pressures of work and learning, I stayed focused on my goal, trusting that persistence would eventually unlock the career I truly desired. With unwavering dedication and a deep passion for design, I began a new chapter—one I had long envisioned.

Over the past three years, I have had the privilege of working as a designer across a diverse range of industries, including the beauty industry, retail, dessert shops, network companies, and real estate. In each role, I have actively solved problems not only from a design perspective but also through a business lens, always aiming to create impactful solutions for both companies and clients.

One of my greatest strengths lies in my mindset of thinking outside the box. Having not followed a traditional academic path, I have honed my ability to find innovative solutions by exploring diverse resources and unconventional approaches. This adaptability has been key to my success as a designer and problem-solver. I believe that good design has a strong purpose and a reason behind it. To achieve this, constant effort in gathering insights and inspiration is essential—whether through reading, learning, or sharing your work.

When I'm not designing, you can find me walking along the beach or cafe-hopping. Though I'm sensitive to caffeine, I can't resist the taste and aroma of coffee. I especially love the vibe of cafes with the gentle hum of conversation in the background. I also have a passion for collecting unique stationery to brighten my workspace.
