Opening Doors to Creativity
Hi, I'm Ji Yun!
(You can also call me Jinny)
Who am I?
I graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 2022 with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and a Minor in Digital Arts, which helped fuel my passion for understanding people and creating impactful digital content. But my education isn’t the only thing that shapes my perspective — I’ve also lived in three different countries: Korea, the Philippines, and now the U.S.! These experiences gave me a unique ability to adapt quickly and think globally, something I bring into all my work.
So why am I creating a portfolio?
When the pandemic hit in 2020, I saw it as the perfect opportunity to dive into something new. I was eager to blend creativity with analytical thinking, so I turned my attention to Marketing and Media Content. With nothing but curiosity and determination, I taught myself digital content creation from the ground up. I tackled my own projects, learning different programs and skills through YouTube, books, and articles. This was a game-changer for me, as it taught me how to take control and figure things out on my own — a mindset that now fuels everything I do, both in work and in life.
