About
Meet the basers
In a family of engineers, software developers, and a math teacher, Thea was the imaginative child who wanted to become a painter. Growing up between South Korea and San Diego, she found the creative playground she needed in graphic design, and pursued it back in Korea.
During an exchange year in Germany, she started to code, and the engineering world she grew up around finally found its way into her work. Where others see a fork in the road, she sees a chance to flex both her creative and analytical sides. At BaseNYC she works as Senior Designer moving instinctively across both creative and digital.
The black sheep, it turns out, was the same breed all along. She just took the scenic route to admit it. Off the clock, she takes real pleasure in simple things: pour-over coffee, sour beer, and the right company to share them with.
