Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, I am currently an environmental designer, with a prior degree in business, and plan to graduate the Art Center College of Design in December of 2015. My design philosophy lies in the realms of influencing people through my vision of constructing environments. My knowledge of business and design has provided me with the skills to see a project through all the way from the beginning to the end. Though I believe that an innovative solution starts from an optimistic and passionate state of mind, I think that a designer is always facing constraints and realities to leverage current situations sensibly.
Except my desire in design, I am filled with wanderlust, looking for unique candle, eating local food, or sneaking in cool hotel. Lately, I did my first surfing in Waikiki beach.
