Jiyoun Kim Studio — Seoul, South Korea

Is there any existing packaging design, your own work or that of others, that you would like to re-design? “Any brand that has a good agenda, or a well-organised philosophy, will be valuable and enjoyable work. And it would be better if we could design all areas from product design to brand strategy to packaging.”
