Background story:

"I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea. I studied graphic design at F.I.T. in NYC. I’ve been living in NY since then. I started freelance designing for the site of NYLON Magazine when I was a Junior at school. (actually I started as an intern at a web design studio, and later I got to freelance work.) Since then I’ve got chances to freelance work for mainly fashion related works, which I think is coincident because FIT is famous for fashion. But I don’t have particular preference for any certain types of works. I would like to work on different stuff, so that I can learn more about things that I hadn't known much about.
I’ve been drawing since I was a kid, and when I was in college, I started my site " Liquidpaper.net" to show some of my drawing as a hobby, but it grew in to more than just a hobby. I like to draw things that we all experience In real life, and I hope people can relate to the subject matters."


Future dream:

"It’s pretty hard to do both illustration and design for a starting designer like me. I hope I can keep doing both in the future. I would be very interested in being an art director of a magazine someday, too. I think that's what I am most interested in design wise... magazines!"


Favorite artist:

"Julie Verhoeven, I love her line drawings."


Message to young artists:

"I still consider myself as a young artist, too. I think it’s very important to know what your ultimate goal is specifically, then it will be easier to focus on what you’re doing. Seeing and experiencing many different things would help a lot to become a good artist. so... travel and see as much as you can!!"
