Why PNCA? Each school has strong programs, subin yang, and Subin lucked out because illustration is one of the best at PNCA.

Recently, I got to go back to my grandmother's place and found out that all my kindergarten sketchbooks were kept there. Of course, I immediately dived in hoping to find some funny ideas to use and was shocked at how similar my current work is to my doodles as a kid. I still love saturated, bright colors especially turquoise and pink and draw tons of girls and tons of food and domestic settings. I think my first job was an editorial work for HireAHelper, a moving company. It was very exciting since I had to wait some time until I had the correct visa to work and the art director was really kind enough to be patient and wait for me. And it was an exciting first year full of lots of new experiences working as an artist in the US! The last couple months of the OPT, I moved to NYC hoping to learn more about how illustrators like me can get a visa to work in the US for a little longer - and I met so many cool artists and designers and learned so much in those three months!

I was born and raised mostly in South Korea and have also grew up partly in New Delhi, India, and then in Portland, Oregon for art school. Portland is where I first go to be a part of a community of creatives by going to an art school. Coming from Seoul after highschool, Portland left a huge impression of a slower-paced and eco-friendly environment that encouraged experimentation. It was inspiring for me to be surrounded by the local art scene, cheap art supplies Scraps! New York is where I headed at the last leg of my student visa because I thought this could be my last chance to live in New York. I loved seeing and meeting so many interesting and talented people who were also kind enough to welcome me to the city. Seoul is where I grew up during my high school years, and probably where I stayed around the longest around 9 years. One thing that is different is that the public transportation is amazingly maintained in Seoul and I can easily go from one neighborhood to another using the subway or the bus. To be honest, I only started exploring Seoul when I came back after graduating and there are so many sweet cafes, galleries, museums, and stores that I have yet to visit. Hwaseong is where I live now with my family. Whenever I have the chance, I take the train to Seoul to do things like exploring new cafes, going to shows, and meeting friends and clients. Portland Good: The people I met and the friends I made along the way. Bad: Not enough international community based on my experience.

Before going to art school, I had no one person around me who could be a role model as a creative other than my art teachers and tutors. Even as students compete within their majors, she saw that they work together and support one another, subin yang.

My experience in India was one of the most memorable part of my life and it colored so much of my childhood because everything was so new! Despite the language barrier at first, I loved living in India; eating lots of mangos and well seasoned Indian food, cooling down from the heat by swimming or running in the rain, learning Indian history and language, traveling in the sleeper trains, making new friends from diverse cultures, going on adventures on bumpy rickshaw rides. After five years, my family had moved back to South Korea. This time, I had to get used to living in Korea and make new friends all over again and it gave me a bit of identity crisis. The 5 years I spent in Portland has left a big impression on my most current self. I became the illustrator that I am today because of what I learned at the school.

I still had to leave since the new visa required a lot of preparation but I felt like I had the most productive year and deserved a break and health insurance haha.
