Hello! My name is Mary and I am a storyteller Being a senior student at Chonnam National University and majoring in graphic design by day, at night I become a huge animation lover and work on my personal projects searching for stories to tell. I like to create stories that immerse viewers in other worlds, help them to become a different person for a while and leave a comforting, heart-warming aftertaste.

A jack of many trades, master of some. I embody art and technology, where I'm equally equipped to do front-end development as wel as ux/ui design and illustration work. I’ve studied at the Graphic Lyceum, High School of Arts and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in the Netherlands. Throughout the years I’ve worked for a wide range of companies and clients, picking up multiple creative and technical disciplines along the way.
