I am a 3D character artist. From 2017 to 2018, I also worked as a fashion studio photographer and editor. I'm smart. I graduated from one of the top 3 best universities in Korea. I don't want to overload my description with a bunch of adjectives. Math and art are the areas I'm most confident in. I like to make logical judgments and reason based on facts. At the same time, I like to daydream and have a well-developed aesthetic sense. I'm a good learner, so I pick up on things quickly. I believe that when people work, their intelligence and sense of style greatly improve their efficiency. I'm also responsible, so whatever I do, I do it beyond expectations. Recently, I've been studying English. I wasn't always fluent in English, but now I'm working on it every day to become fluent. I have two daughters. I am an immigrant, but I want to build a stable life for my family and myself in the U.S. If you hire me, you won't regret it.Houdini
