As an Expert-Vetted (Upwork’s top 1%) Market Researcher, Social Media Strategist, and Copywriter, I help businesses understand their target consumers, develop social media marketing strategies, and write copy and create marketing assets (emails, brochures, blog articles, videos, images).
🌐 Fully Remote & Reliable: I've been working remotely and collaborating with global teams in diverse industries since 2008. I'm familiar with Zoom, Slack, and Google and Microsoft collaboration tools for remote collaboration.
🐈 Driven by Curiosity: I use my curiosity to thoroughly understand my client’s (= YOUR) business and goals. 🔍 As a market researcher, I analyze your target consumers and competitors to develop effective social marketing strategies.
✍ As a Korean/English bilingual copywriter, I write copy that reflects your brand identity and resonates with your consumers by matching your offerings with your target consumers' needs/wants. To do so, I also apply my knowledge of neuroscience to copywriting.
❤️ Motivated by Passion: My passion is to connect businesses with the right consumers, who are looking for what YOU offer. I'm particularly interested in health, technology, pet/cat products, tourism, fashion, beauty, and consumer goods.
💬 If you feel I may be a good fit for your project, let's talk! To be part of an exciting project, I am open to adjust my rate to fit your budget.

Born into a family of musicians, I began piano lessons at age 6 and discovered the double bass at 13. After high school, I pursued classical music at university, majoring in double bass performance. My passion for music—which I see as a universal "language" of art and expression—naturally extended to human languages and cultures.
English captivated me early on, often feeling more intuitive than my native tongue. Since 2006, I’ve immersed myself in Korean language and culture through self-directed study, building a career as a freelance translator, interpreter, and language tutor both in Germany and South Korea.
For over a decade, I’ve specialized in diverse linguistic services, including:
→ Translation & Localization
→ Proofreading & Editing
→ Creative Writing & Copywriting
→ LLM Training & Evaluation
→ Speech Recording & Voice Projects
Recently, I’ve expanded into AI-driven creative design, mastering tools like InstaDoodle, Artistly, and TextBuilder (Pro licenses). I now offer:
→ Print-Ready Illustrations & Book Covers
→ Logo Design & Brand Assets
→ Animated Doodle Videos
Blending artistic sensibility with technical precision, I help clients communicate impactfully—whether through words, sound, or visual storytelling.
