Other Mediums

Outside of software design, I enjoy painting, filming videos with my Panasonic 4K camcorder and spending time with friends.

On the weekends, I run tihai studio, that specializes in helping independent fashion designers with runway operations, showroom direction, and creative direction. I've previously collaborated with designers including Jimin Lee and Haderlump Berlin across Seoul, New York and Berlin.
