I am a South Korean-born, Italian-raised, Jersey girl living in Brooklyn. Currently, I am developing my senior thesis inspired by origami and paper folding techniques.
I believe some things exist better with a sense of mystery. I like that if something is designed well enough, it can be appreciated on its own without necessarily knowing its story, and that is what I try to do in my work. What I create tends to depend on what moves me in any given moment, but I have a deep love for the physical art of making. I find the construction and tangibility to be very fulfilling, so I explore handcrafted techniques driven by materials that serve purpose.
Design for me stems from a very personal and singular level despite fashion being a very public expression, and I am on my way to finding that balance.
