Hello :-)

Jung Y. Paek is a New York-based design director and communication designer with over 15 years of expertise in crafting and launching impactful campaigns for diverse brands. She was fortunate enough to grow up across cultures: Chicago, Korea, NY, NJ, Mexico City, Moscow, and Pittsburgh. The diversity of such an upbringing is reflected in her design approach, which is adaptable, cross-culturally empathetic, and keenly attentive to data and history.

Jung received her Master of Design degree and Bachelor of Fine Arts from Carnegie Mellon University, where she also taught undergraduate students for 2 years. She has worked with organizations like Genentech, Samsung, Pfizer, Edwards Lifesciences, W.P.Carey, PwC, Jiamini, The Face Shop, Allergan, Takeda, AMAG, and Vornado. Jung's work is recognized by AIGA Pittsburgh and other competitions.

In her spare time, she grows crops in the community garden, takes photographs, writes calligraphy, and does indoor rock climbing.
