I'm a first-year at UW applying to the Interaction Design program. I grew up in South Korea, moved to Texas in 2022, and came to Seattle for college.

For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to visuals, music, interfaces, and small details that just stuck with me. I think design eventually became the language I used to make sense of those things, and kept finding myself coming back to it after that.

Outside of school, I like listening to music - it's what gets me to sit down and actually start things. Drawing, studying, building something, it all goes better with music on. I also have a habit of collecting things I like, whether that's images, clips, songs, or anything else that catches my attention and stays with me.
