A multidisciplinary creator merging fine arts, biosystems engineering, and graphic design. My work interrogates the intersections of cultural critique, branding, and tactile design. With a background in both sculpture and biosystems engineering, as well as a decade of freelance practice, I navigate between art and commercial contexts. From K-pop commodification to music industry graphics, this portfolio highlights projects where form and concept converge.

SELECTED PROJECTS
Aegyo Apparel
2022–2025 | Self-Directed Art, Branding & Critical Graphic Design
Aegyo Apparel is a conceptual clothing brand and art project interrogating the commodification of K-pop fandom through corporate aesthetics. The work encompasses graphic design, typography, and merchandise, including limited-run T-shirts and promotional materials deployed in exhibitions (Los Angeles, Seoul, New York). By conflating idol culture with bureaucratic branding, the project reframes consumerism as a site of artistic critique, earning features in publications like NYLON.
Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS Tour Experience
This installation recreated Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS album aesthetics within an immersive audience-engagement-oriented tour bus. Worked with another designer to produce Tour Bus wrap exterior & interior using the album’s typographic and visual language, as well as materials found within the bus including posters and stickers, producing print-ready files (vector and raster).
2024 | Graphic Design
DA1SY D00M
DA1SY D00M’s visual identity merges ethereal motifs with glitch aesthetics to evoke optimism within dystopian narratives. The project included logos, merchandise, and Instagram templates, employing nostalgic typography and luminous palettes. These elements coalesce into a cohesive system that mirrors the artist’s thematic focus on transcendence.
2023 | Art Direction & Identity Design
SAFARI RIOT
Safari Riot’s Instagram templates use a modular three-panel grid to showcase video stills and promotional content. I presented three distinct design directions, balancing legibility with dynamic compositions tailored to music licensing marketing. In collaboration with another designer, we developed a final system of templates compatible with Adobe After Effects.
2024 | Graphic Design
PIAS Recordings
Initial deliverables included three distinct design directions for playlist covers and banners, emphasizing bold typography and gradient fields. Iterations refined the selected direction for scalability across digital interfaces. The work demonstrates adaptability within music branding’s functional demands.
2024 | Graphic Design
textile
A “textile” piece visualizing the most common English bigrams and letter combinations from the Google Corpus dataset. Digitally woven and large-format printed to transform linguistic frequency into physical form.
2018 | Woven Data Art (for BFA thesis project)
