Portfolio

 
Hailing from the city of Seoul, South Korea, now split my time between the urban landscapes of Seoul and Chicago. Currently studying Cinema Studies and Interaction Design at K-Arts and CCC, I am also actively engaged as a journalist and an (amateur) film critic. Beyond the realm of academia and professional pursuits, I love playing electric guitar, making website, watching film, and walking around the city.
