Hui Kwon
I’ve always had obsessive tendencies—arranging bills by serial number, adjusting volumes in multiples of three, and hunting for chopsticks of the same length at restaurants. It used to feel like a burden, but over time, I realized it’s just how my brain works.
Now, that same obsession fuels my design. I focus on research, logic, and structure, ensuring that my decisions have a reason. Whether it’s building concepts, refining typography, or crafting identities, I believe clarity and intention make great design work.
I’m much more flexible now—I’ve stopped matching the chopsticks and carrying cash—but when it comes to design, I still obsess over the details that matter.
