About Me
An artist and freelancer who uses the power of text to shape physical spaces, craft compelling content, and build meaningful community.
My journey began with a deep belief that every individual possesses their own unique texture and rhythm. This philosophy inspired me to establish and run 'Goyuwon' (๊ณ ์ ์), a private community dedicated to exploring and honoring personal identity.
Currently based in Busan, I am channeling my diverse background into launching a fresh local business initiative. Driven by a passion for multi-disciplinary storytelling, I am also in the process of creating an indie game and an independent film, both slated for completion and festival submission by 2027.
