  • About the Author

    Henn Kim was born (1982) and raised in Ulsan, South Korea where she lived until she was 18. After moving to Seoul at 19, she focused on music and art, and often designed cover art for indie bands in Seoul. She worked at a design company as a graphic designer, but decided to follow her own path as an illustrator/artist and has been following her dream since 2015. Since then, her work has been commissioned by the BBC, UNICEF, Nike, Bottega Veneta, Snapchat and TED, featured in GQ, The Big Issue, Vogue and on book covers, and exhibited in Hong Kong and Korea.
