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.

First Boss Is Too Hard  |  첫사장은 너무 어려워Branding, YouTube, Motion Graphic
Toss Place produced a YouTube series titled “First Boss Is Too Hard,” aimed at first-time business owners. For this project, I worked on the intro motion design used repeatedly throughout the series.
The project initially explored complex transitions and multiple motion structures, but I later decided that clearly delivering the tone of the content and the brand within a short runtime was more important. To achieve this, I simplified unnecessary elements and focused on typography, graphic rhythm, and pacing to create a more direct and readable motion structure. I also incorporated visual elements inspired by the Toss Place product experience, such as receipts, check marks, and POS-style UI graphics, to playfully capture the hectic and fast-paced reality of running a business for the first time.









토스플레이스에서는 처음 가게를 운영하는 사장님들을 위한 유튜브 시리즈 *‘첫사장은 너무 어려워’*를 제작했습니다. 해당 프로젝트에서 저는 시리즈 전반에 반복적으로 사용되는 인트로 모션 디자인 작업을 담당했습니다.

초기에는 복잡한 트랜지션과 다양한 모션 구조를 시도했지만, 짧은 시간 안에 콘텐츠의 분위기와 브랜드 톤을 효과적으로 전달하는 방향이 더 중요하다고 판단했습니다. 이를 위해 불필요한 요소를 줄이고, 타이포그래피와 그래픽의 리듬감에 집중해 보다 직관적인 모션 구조로 재정리했습니다.

또한 토스플레이스의 제품 경험에서 사용되는 영수증, 체크마크, POS UI 등의 시각 요소를 모션 그래픽에 활용하여, 처음 장사를 시작한 사장님들의 정신없고 바쁜 분위기를 유쾌하게 표현하고자 했습니다.
