Hey, I’m Jeewon.
I started painting since I was little. I got my first bachelors degree in Fine Art in 2009, soon after I started my design career as a designer in various companies located in Seoul, Korea and New Jersey, USA. After a few years, I wanted to extend my design career so I decided to pursue Toy design at Fashion Institute of Technology, in 2018.
Both my background knowledge in Fine art and Toy design help me to build my concepts on a paper, in a screen, or be a product.
I do really like doing painting, design, making stories on product. I’d like to ensure fascinating design but giving you a joy.
And I am so passionate about learning new things, always!

Beside designing, I like short-hikes, drawing stuffs, and drinking beer 🍺
