"Yes

is more

"

I believe in embracing complexity, integrating diverse needs and perspectives, and pragmatic utopianism.

Growing

up

in

the

Midwest

as

a

minority

and

raised

with

post

Korean

War

sentiments

:

navigating

spaces

where

I

wasn't

fully

seen,

taking

great

care

of

what

little

I

have,

and

being

hella

resourceful

to

supplement

for

the

things

I

don't

:

empathy,

care,

and

creativity

have

acutely

guided

my

approach

to

design

and

life.

By

understanding

my

family

and

the

experiences

of

those

around

me,

I

find

my

greatest

joy

is

in

lifting

others

up.

Other

joys

include

backpacking,

climbing,

saunas

&

hot

springs,

and

craft

so

clean

you

can

eat

off

it.
