about me

I'm Janice, a creative strategist and leader based in LA from South Korea.
I love inspiring audiences through music, visuals, and technology.
With 6+ years in tech and 2 in agencies, I craft world-class integrated brand and growth campaigns. A question that drives me forward in what I do is:
"What have I left my mark on, and what am I proud of creating?"
