Korean designer based in Tokyo, graduating from Musashino Art University in March 2026. Industrial, interior, and craft design meet in one thread: ecological thinking and hands-on making — what things are made of, how they age, and who they serve.

A decisive moment came in the laboratory: material made from Hinoki powder, cellulose, and seeds began to germinate in water. Coexistence stopped feeling abstract; a life cycle was folded into the material itself.

At MAU I work where craft meets design — spaces that welcome other species, tatami logic as movable furniture, a trolley tuned to human reach and plant light, and a chair that makes 間 physically legible so absence reads as room for meaning.

Showing work through a MUJI collaboration and Hinoki research at a Karimoku exhibition taught me that design must read clearly inside real systems. Supervisors describe care for wood, workshop discipline, and openness to production and context. I want to keep pushing biomaterials and manufacturing with partners who take sustainability seriously — the way that first germinating sample showed me design as something alive.
