Na Eun is a curious, hyper-logical adapter. 

As a latchkey kid, I spent my unsupervised afternoons pursuing creative impulses like teaching myself to sew shorts, mixing olive oil with watercolors to make “oil paint”, and helping out my parents by setting up dinner. 

Design is my honest output of observation, curiosity, and experimentation. I am perpetually searching for new ways to look at the world and solve problems

Mister Rogers would say “Look for the helpers”; I’d like to become a helper, a designer, and a neighbor who uses my creativity to help solve problems big and small
