Let me create ideas that make you say, 'Wow, why didn't I think of that?' Let me work with people who make me say, 'I wish I came up with that.’
Hi 👋🏻 I'm Kevin, an Associate Creative Director and Art Director at DDB
My journey began at Leo Burnett, and it's always been about the idea and being conceptual. I've had the privilege of working at Arnold, Laundry Service, Havas, FCB, and Publicis, and now I'm continuing the good fight at DDB.
For me, it's all about pushing boundaries and championing bold ideas, because you can't teach conceptual thinking—it's about grit and refusing to settle for the ordinary.
Born in Korea, raised in California, shaped in London, and now thriving in New York, I’ve embraced a world of perspectives that fuel my creativity.
Living across countries and exploring countless cities, my experiences are as diverse as the ideas I create.
Outside of advertising, you can often find me at La Colombe, contemplating life over a cup of coffee, or taking long walks through Central Park with a coffee in hand.
It's in these quiet moments that I find clarity, reprioritize, and recharge my creative spirit.
Sports are my second life. Whether it's hitting the gym, entering races with my running crew, or playing basketball and soccer, I find discipline and joy in staying active. It's not just about fitness, it's about embracing a competitive spirit and continually challenging myself.
Cooking is my calling, and I truly live to eat. Being 'hangry' is a real thing for me!
Once or twice a year, I travel—whether internationally or locally—not just to see new places but to dive into their culinary scenes.
It's less about intense touring and more about savoring the flavors of each city.
I hope we get to win awards together… I mean I hope we get to make the everyday work great together!
