Hey there—I’m an art director, graphic designer, and illustrator based in NYC, originally from Seoul and a graduate of SVA. I’ve worked with forward-thinking brands and creatives to craft visuals rooted in story and distinct aesthetics. Along the way, my work has been featured at the Emmys, recognized by the ADC, and published in The New York Times.

From design to diverse visual languages, I’m always exploring what’s next—ideas that feel fresh, future-facing, and deeply human.

Take a look at my work below—and if it resonates, let’s connect and create something meaningful.

Book Cover Design

I contributed to the design of book covers across fiction, nonfiction, and memoir—each crafted to visually reflect the author’s voice and the narrative’s core. From bold typographic treatments to subtle conceptual imagery, my work ranged from expressive and surreal to restrained and elegant.

Created at Farrar, Straus and Giroux and Rodrigo Corral Studio, these covers were collaborative efforts that balanced editorial direction with design experimentation—translating literary tone into striking visuals for both shelves and screens.

Among them, Underbug received special recognition—selected as one of The New York Times Best Book Covers of the Year.
