Who Am I?
I am a Korean Canadian designer who follows Christ. I enjoy art, fixing things, travelling and deep talks with people. I cherish my time with others over spending it by myself. I plan spontaneously because I like adventures.
Design is...
I think designing is the act of generating the most value from what is available. As a designer, I value humility and responsibility.
C.S. Lewis said, "Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less." The key of humbleness is to make others feel valued. This goes hand in hand with the principle of design. We design to give value to the world, not to be praised by our work. We love humble people because we feel more valuable around them. They are confident but treat others with respect and kindness.
Responsibility gives meaning to our life. Work has meaning when we try our best to carry it out with responsibility. A responsible designer should pursue great design despite criticisms and compliments. We must be responsible for what we produce, for it is part of us.
I am a young designer seeking growth and opportunities for learning. I have been blessed with rich experiences, so I am thankful for everyone who has helped me in my journey. I'm excited to start my next chapter with you. Leave a message if you want to chat with me! :D
