Hello :)
Hi, I’m Hyeji from South Korea. I’m an adaptive, curious, and resilient Motion Graphic Designer & Illustrator with a passion for visual storytelling and expressive art. I’ve worked across Korea, the UK, and Germany, moving between motion graphics and illustration because I genuinely enjoy both (and refuse to choose).
I love playful storytelling, artistic visuals, and building little worlds that feel alive. With over 10 years of experience, I’m always ready for new creative challenges and opportunities to grow. I’m still exploring what I want to make in the long run. But that’s part of the fun.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or talk about potential projects.
