Hello, I'm Chi. | Los Angeles Surface Pattern Designer
I turn everyday inspiration into patterns that make products come alive. My collections are available to license, and I'd love to create something unique for your brand. Let's get in touch!
In a world of AI generated art, my work is proudly human made. Every pattern starts with my own hand and imagination, giving you not just a beautiful design, but one with clear, original copyright you can trust.
Born and raised in Korea, I came to Los Angeles to pursue my passion for design, studying at FIDM, interning at Disney Consumer Products, and earning my degree from ArtCenter College of Design. My son's arrival inspired me to transition from motion graphics into surface pattern design, bringing a mother's love and imagination into every pattern I create.
My work is often inspired by children's books, vintage toys, and the beauty of nature, which I incorporate into my designs to create whimsical imagery. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with clients across various industries such as fashion, home décor, stationery, and multimedia production. I am always looking for new ways to push my creative boundaries and come up with fresh and exciting ideas for my clients.
Aside from my professional work, I also enjoy spending time in the kitchen baking cookies and muffins for my family and friends. This little routine fills my home with sweetness and often finds its way into my designs too.
