Born to first generation korean immigrants, i was raised in the city of los angeles. growing up, i was always told to stop daydreaming and doodling in my notebooks. my earliest aspirations were to be an artist. whether it was being a muralist, graffiti artist, or music producer, my life goal was to: create. despite pushback from peers and other adults, i would internalize this yearning for passion and creativity. This pursuit would eventually lead me to stanford university, where i am continuing this mission within the field of design. outside of my academic studies, i am still chasing a career electronic and acoustic music. this drive is an ongoing and never-ending adventure.
