I am a Korean Hick … not … while I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, I grew up all around the USA - Arizona, Washington, and Illinois (No, my father was not in the army). I have a deep passion for truth and happiness. I believe that creativity is a great way of fostering that passion. I graduated with a BA in sociology from Benedictine University, but started my college career at UW-Madison. While my major has helped a great deal in my career & perception on life, it was graphic design that caught my heart. My exploration in graphic design started in college when I pulled pranks on my friends’ photos, fortunately, they’re still my friends. I later moved onto designing print collateral for major events for several student organizations, where I served as an event project coordinator and social chair.

Before fig, I worked at the Chicago Sun-Times as a strategic marketing specialist and graphic designer. I then joined AmeriCorps (the domestic Peace Corps) and served out in Los Angeles, California, where I worked with Youth Venture, a non-profit that inspires and invests in teams of young people to design and launch their own lasting social Ventures, enabling them to have this transformative experience of leading positive social change.

Outside of work, I enjoy jamming on the guitar and singing with friends about whatever concerns us at the time. If and when I get married, my mistress will have 6 strings hanging from her neck and a giant hole in her belly (I apologize in advance to whoever my wife may be). I also love spoken word and I try to let my pen express all feelings that may bring me to my knees. I love to inspire and be inspired. I strive to be a student of life.
