Hey! Nice to meet you.
My name is Kaia(or Jiho) and I'm a design student from South Korea, currently at
the
School of Visual Arts in New York City ˚ ˖ ·.

I'm a multidisciplinary designer with a focus on product design, grounded in a liberal arts background in comparative literature and cultural studies from Yonsei University.
I've previously worked as a designer for School of Visual Arts Student Association (VASA), South Korea's largest online game platform Nexon Korea, and Beryl Consulting Group in New York as a UX design intern.

Besides designing, I love reading, visiting art galleries, cats, and the ocean ˖°𓇼🌊🐚🫧 !
I hope you enjoy your time on this page, and please feel free to reach out!

I design with logic and reason, but for humans.
My work bridges analytical thinking with
empathy and storytelling.
