Work Experience  


A Korean artist with experience in graphic design, currently working across Los Angeles and Korea. Specializing in UI/UX design, motion graphics, and broader graphic design, his expertise stems from a blend of formal education and self-directed studies. Influenced by the world of film and video games from an early age, he was particularly inspired upon seeing a Korean name among UI artists in credits, fueling his ambition to create art that transcends boundaries. This inspiration led him to further his education in America, significantly shaping his professional trajectory. Today, he leverages these experiences to create compelling design solutions that resonate with diverse audiences.

BreeziBranding, Graphic Design, ConceptBREEZI is a fictional beverage and lifestyle brand designed to resonate with Gen Z's emotionally detached yet visually expressive culture. The brand lives in a space "between soda and sigh" — not trying too hard, yet never invisible. It blends dry wit, sick aesthetics, and an unbothered attitude to create a presence that's both playful and painfully relatable.

The concept was built around the idea of confident detachment. Instead of promising energy or refreshment, BREEZI simply exists. It doesn’t demand attention but catches your eye anyway. Its tone is ironic, emotionally distant, but never boring. Slogans like "not mad. just here." and "flat face. full flavor." highlight the brand’s self-aware and deadpan voice. This emotional ambiguity is the core of the brand’s identity — flavored like feelings no one talks about, delivered in a can.

Visually, the branding uses a bold color palette centered around mint (#00eacd), hot pink (#ff55b7), and sunshine yellow (#ffcb36). The primary typography is Satoshi-Bold, chosen for its clean and geometric form that complements the brand’s minimal yet expressive tone. The main logo is a wordmark, but the true heart of the identity lies in the brand mascot — a yellow circular character wearing oversized hot pink (#ff55b7) heart-shaped sunglasses with a blank expression. This character becomes the silent symbol of BREEZI’s whole attitude: loud in look, silent in tone.

The project included the design of 355ml sleek can layouts, combining either large-scale character visuals or minimal typographic compositions depending on context. Visual experimentation continued across lifestyle mockups, including flash-photographed party scenes with Gen Z models, gift-card style printed slogans, hangtags for apparel with barcodes and size marks, and campaign imagery with a raw, photorealistic aesthetic that feels candid, chaotic, and intimate. These mockups were created using a combination of Illustrator, Photoshop, Midjourney, Firefly, and other AI-enhanced design tools.

More than a beverage, BREEZI is an attitude. It’s about taking up space while pretending not to care. It’s about bold colors and deadpan expressions. In a world that’s constantly performing, BREEZI just exists — and somehow, that’s enough.
