I studied interior design and architecture at ArtCenter College of Design. I pursued my degree in 2022, a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Design. Before, I studied fine art, ceramics, and furniture design at Chosun University for a year, and I wanted to expand my design into interior and architectural design in Los Angeles.

I did my internship at Jinsa + Architects in Los Angeles before I graduated from my school. Then, I followed my partner to Sweden and started working as an interior designer at Okko Design in Stockholm. While I was working there, I also worked as a freelancer to design Monster Chicken’s 2&3 locations. I joined H&M as a Store Designer, and have been with the company ever since.
