Wooj is my nickname; it is a short version of my Korean name (Woojin). I’ve been working under that name for a while, particularly in my design work.

I officially incorporated Wooj as my design studio last year at the beginning of the pandemic. I was, like many people, pretty depressed . I am currently in my last year of my graduate program; most of my classes are very practical and hands on. Everything immediately transitioned to fully online and we lost a lot of that tactility. I was, to put it mildly, “not feeling it”. I was looking for a project to put some time and energy into to pull me out of the state I was in.
