About Me.
Born and raised amidst the vibrant cultures of South Korea, I embarked on a unique journey that has shaped both my personal and professional pursuits. Following the completion of my high school education, I answered the call to serve my country, spending two transformative years in the Navy. It was during this time that I honed my discipline and sense of duty, qualities that would later define my approach to life.
Driven by a passion for the intersection of creativity and functionality, I ventured to the United States to pursue a degree in architecture. Immersed in the dynamic landscape of American academia, I delved into the intricacies of architectural design, eager to create spaces that not only inspire but also serve a practical purpose.
Upon graduating, I found my niche in healthcare architectural planning—a field that perfectly blends my technical skills with a deep-seated desire to contribute meaningfully to society. With each blueprint and design, I strive to craft environments that promote healing, efficiency, and innovation.
Now, I am committed to utilizing my expertise to contribute to the advancement of healthcare architecture. I believe that through thoughtful design, we can enhance the quality of care and the well-being of communities.
