I am obsessed with cultural communication which is fueled by my identity as a black and Korean-American woman designer and creative strategist. I like to treat client projects like ethnography, seeking the unspoken values and cultural vernacular of their industry, companies, and teams. I have two national awards for creative direction, one from the Council of Fashion Designers of America and the other from International Society of Typographic Designers. I also proudly hold a bachelor’s in fashion design and a master’s degree in visual communication design from Kent State University. Over 8+ years, I have led projects in multiple industries such as fashion, utilities, performing arts, and restricted goods. I have a lead-from-the-middle mentality, valuing collaboration with diverse teams to foster constructive friction.
