Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. Learned to paint in the European tradition. Used art to ground myself as a third-generation Korean-American feeling disconnected from her ethnic diaspora. Embraced the Silicon Valley method of turning passions into products. I'm a student who equally loves design and academia, eager to learn more about the world through making. Whether on the California coast or in New England blizzards, I'm deeply committed to my craft and the people I create for.
