I’m Vi (they/them). From a young age, I have been fascinated an inspired by tikkun olam, the Jewish concept of repairing the world. It brought me to Yonsei University in South Korea where I got my BA in Sustainable Development and Cooperation and my BS in Information and Interaction Design.
My international experiences and studies helped grow and refine my desire to make the world a better place into my passion: Use design and communication to bring positive energy to the world.
