The dandelion, often dismissed as a mere weed, symbolizes faith, resilience, and transformation. Just as its seeds travel on the wind and grow wherever they land, Inje University students embark on their academic journey at K-State, while K-State students thrive in new environments. The kiosk represents the dandelion’s metamorphosis, mirroring the personal growth that comes with studying abroad. K-State embraces this spirit, using international education to spread knowledge, creativity, and engagement, ensuring that no place or person is left untouched in its mission as a Next Generation University.

ARTWORK
I’ve always had a creative side, with drawing being a major part of my life. It’s been my way to express myself and explore different forms of art. Some of my earliest memories include making chalk art on the sidewalk during summer, working on craft projects my mom would come up with, and doodling in class as a kid. For me, creating has always been about freedom, expression, and a little bit of therapy. It’s something that seamlessly connects with my work as an interior designer, allowing me to bring that same creativity into my designs. The following is a collection of my favorite artworks, showcasing my love for exploring different media, fine detail, and craftsmanship.

BACKGROUND
Renovating homes has been a part of my family for as long as I can remember. We’ve worked on houses since my childhood, through my teenage years, and now with our current projects. It’s something we’ve always done, and over the years, we’ve gotten a good handle on the process.
Right now, we’re finishing up a house we bought at a tax auction. We’ve been working on it for a few years, and it’s almost done. Once it’s finished, we’re already planning to move on to the next house just a few blocks away. We’ve always got something in the works, and it’s become a routine for us.
