I make things that help people put the phone down.
Everything on this site comes out of one question: what do you actually give someone whose stress is made of screens? My answers keep arriving in two shapes — pictures that slow a person down long enough to notice where they are, and businesses that pay for somebody else's next step.
I am eighteen, I live in Gangnam-gu in Seoul, and I run a running brand called Kikobana that commits five per cent of its revenue to single mothers in Uganda. The art, the brands and the field work are not three hobbies. They are one argument told three ways.

Skills
What I am working toward
Three things, and they hold each other up.
Art that slows people down
Painting, 3D and character design pointed at one job: interrupt a dopamine loop for long enough that the person inside it notices they are in one.
Business with a floor under it
Kikobana, KKUMUL and Berrapy exist to sell something worth owning and to route part of what they earn somewhere it changes a life.
Rights that are not optional
Girls Be Strong took me to Kampala. What I met there is why the brands have a percentage attached to them at all.
Selected work
ArtFrom a grandmother’s courage to the footsteps of peaceI entered the 2026 youth work contest on the victims of Japanese military sexual slavery, in the art and design category, with a set of goods designs. The contest closes after this was written, so the honest status is entered and nothing more.BusinessKikobanaKikobana is a running brand for women in their twenties and thirties, built on the idea that running slowly is what actually makes you stronger. Five per cent of product revenue is committed to the education, vocational training and living conditions of single mothers and their children in Uganda.ImpactRebranding Girls Be Strong, and going to UgandaI led the rebranding of Girls Be Strong and then went to Uganda, where I taught art to small children at the Hope Hill learning centre and visited a vocational school for single mothers to hand over techniques from Korea and the pattern for Kikobana’s bag.BusinessA flea market on JejuI took KKUMUL and Berrapy to a flea market on Jeju Island and sold both brands across a table, which is the fastest and least flattering design feedback available.Admissions officers, teachers, anyone curious — write to me.
I answer everything. If you would like the original files, a walkthrough of a piece or a reference, ask and I will send it.
