I'm a New York-based
Product and UX designer,
originally from Seoul.
Not a natural early bird,
but decided to become one.
Turns out it stuck.
My days start with meditation.
M-F: I'm a Pilates addict,
Sundays I (try to) run.
Coffee is non-negotiable.
I try to cap it at four shots,
but I won't pretend that always works.
My current favorite is
MARU in Williamsburg.
...been loving it since their Colbo collab pop-up
in Soho back in 2024.

I read almost every wall text
at art exhibitions — I know...
A few things I can't stop thinking about lately:
the metallic edge of Soos Atelier,
Gata's Bigwaves bedding,
and Freja's founder Jenny Lei
— her story is the kind of courage I want to learn from.
...
Things in the cook:
CCO of a nonprofit called NoËma,
co-building a design studio with my brilliant partner Kristy,
and working on something involving free docent tours
on your phone — more on that soon.
...
Reading Atomic Habits right now.
Yes, the one everyone read in 2019. No notes.
...
Recent watch obsessions:
Project Hail Mary, and Legends on Netflix.

If you made it this far — let's talk.
