Hello!
 

about

I'm a Korean graphic artist and designer based in NYC. From film titles and prop graphics to marketing materials and brand design systems, I excel at creating visual identities that shape brands, art, and digital experiences.

My background in fine art informs my design practice, and I often use my skills in art bookmaking, printmaking, and photography on projects. My work “Verge Hotel," a brand identity project rooted in Risograph printmaking, was recognized in Communication Art’s 65th Design Annual award.

Beyond my practice, I also believe in giving back and fostering the future of the creative industry through mentorship, community engagement, and education. I was a recipient of the Queens Art Fund in 2021, have served as a mentor, speaker, portfolio reviewer, and judge for respected organizations such as AIGA NY, the Art Directors Club, Type Thursday NYC, and IATSE Local 829.
