About

I started my career in Macro Sales at Goldman Sachs Hong Kong before transitioning into business development in Luxury and Design in Milan, where I completed a Masters in Fashion, Experience and Design Management at SDA Bocconi. I bring together commercial rigor and creative sensibility - client relations, business development and partnerships, as well as global design literacy and an instinct for what makes experiences feel elevated. I've worked across institutional finance, European luxury groups and international teams, always with an appreciation of people, culture and delivering outcomes. Growing up across Korea, China and the US, I'm trilingual in English, Korean and Mandarin with conversational Italian. I'm drawn to spaces in luxury retail, hospitality, real estate and design, particularly where Asia market knowledge and a Western sensibility both matter.
