New York City Area
Born in Seoul, Korea, I immigrated to the US with my family at the age of 4. While assimilating into New York life, products like Wonder Bread and Kraft Cheese became symbols of what it meant to be American. Though I didn’t know it then, this was my first experience with the power of brands. After decades at Ralph Lauren and Gap, in 2012 I launched the creative and marketing agency Manual Labor. With a mission to “Do Great Work with Good People,” my team and I help companies unlock brand value, identify the “why” behind their existence, and build the ideal customer experience. I didn't know it then but I inherited the entrepreneurial spirit, from my immigrant parents, allowing me to build a company rooted in diverse backgrounds and ideas — diversity that shapes Manual Labor’s present and future.
