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.

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.
