Hi, I’m Gina—an illustrator and author based in Seoul.
After working as a graphic designer, I pursued my passion for storytelling and
earned an MA in Children's Book Illustration from Cambridge School of Art in 2024.

I have a soft spot for small, ordinary things—pigeons, weeds, and crumbs left on café tables
often sneak into my stories. My work is inspired by the beauty of everyday moments and
the warmth of storytelling, blending whimsy with heartfelt narratives.
