Who is Mikael? :)

   My name is Mikael and I am from South Korea. I had lived in Seoul until I came to the United States. Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is a bustling place; however, it is a fascinating city. I moved to the United States in 2009 to develop my design knowledge and ability. California is a great place to live someone who loves clean, natural and nice weather. Since I came to California, I have enjoyed camping and visiting other cities. Lake Tahoe, Big bear and Silver Lake are my favorite camping places.


   There are four people in my family; my father, mother, elder sister, and me. My sister, who is an anesthesiology doctor, is four years older than me. She is married and has two boys. First nephew, who is seven years, has beautiful eyes and great brains. Also, second nephew, who is three years old, is full of charms. My nephews are lovely and cute so that I often buy their gifts and talk them on the phone. Whenever talking over the phone, they say that “Aunt, please buy new toys and I love you!” Even though I spend a lot on their present, I cannot stop buying it.


   I am a graphic designer, and I design product, package, corporate identity, advertisement and website. I have worked for Disney, Samsung, Guess and so on. I love my career; therefore, I am proud of myself. My life goal is to become one of the greatest designers in the world. Design is not easy because continuously  trend is changing and people want different and new design. I believe that designers need to study continually and have to train how they can anticipate future trend.


  I love jazz dance, watching movies and going to the gym. I prefer outdoor activities to indoor ones. Outdoor activities are helpful to reduce stress, improve body condition and make friends. If I have a chance, I want to challenge more exciting sports such as; bungee jumping, sky diving or skin scuba diving.
