Ever since I was a kid,

I've had big dreams of making a positive impact on people's lives. I studied interior architecture and started my career as an interior designer. However, after a decade, I felt unfulfilled and began to question my purpose in life. I dove into self-help books and motivational podcasts, searching for answers.

One day, it hit me—

I wanted to help people on a deeper, more personal level. So, I quit my full-time job and embraced the path of entrepreneurship. My husband and I co-founded a design studio called Studio Aperitif in 2021. He focuses on brand identities and packaging design, while I continue to design interiors for hotels and restaurants.

In addition,

I launched an online mindfulness program in South Korea in 2023, hoping to support others facing similar mental struggles. However, I started too big, too soon, and the project eventually failed. This setback led me back into my own negative habits, but it also reignited my personal growth journey.

Determined to turn things around,

I began sharing pieces of wisdom and advice on social media—lessons that have guided me on my own life journey. I called the series "Notes To Self" because I needed these reminders as much as anyone else. To my surprise, people thanked me for sharing, which inspired me to compile these insights into my book, 100 Reminders for Living Your Best Life.

JOIN ME ON THIS JOURNEY OF PERSONAL growth AND development.
