'Sunbathing' - My not so fluffy kitty, Papillon.
Welcome to my website! I am an illustrator & product designer based in NYC.
I was born and raised in Korea. When I was 18 years old, my family moved to the states. I studied Illustration at Moore College of Art & Design and Rhode Island School of Design. I always loved to draw and design so I never imagined doing anything else for a living. For last 20 years, I had worked for various companies designing home decors, jewelries and greeting cards. I also had an opportunity to design holiday displays all over in NYC, which was the most exciting yet stressful job I ever had!. In 2016, my fun side project, a children's book story, 'The Very fluffy Kitty Papillon' was published by Disney-Hyperion. Since then, I have been working fulltime as a children’s book author & illustrator. I am so grateful that I get to do this everyday.
