Education
2019
Rhode Island School of Design, BFA Furniture Design
An American-born Korean male, I have lived in Western, Asian, and Middle Eastern countries. I spent my early childhood in Dubai, Seoul, Toronto, and Utah. I studied Furniture Design at Rhode Island School of Design. I have benefited from living in different countries, meeting people from a range of backgrounds, and gaining exposure to diverse walks of life. The art I create is based on my experiences in these disparate worlds.
