Where can we find your work (social media, website, stores, etc.)?
In Korea, we’ve recently completed the Galleria department store in Gangnam, as well as Shinsegae department stores in both Seoul and Daegu. We are working on a few projects in North America and Europe as well. Here in our own backyard, we designed for Holt Renfrew, Mackage, Hopson Grace, Masseria, and Indigo Sherway Gardens – just to name a few.
