CxM Magazine is a reimagined version of Complex Magazine, celebrating its legacy while pushing boundaries in streetwear, music, and culture. Each issue, led by a different artistic director, transforms the magazine into a collectible art piece. The project blends innovative design with a dynamic visual identity, reflecting CxM's role as a cultural tastemaker for the modern era. This approach honors the past while embracing the future, creating a platform that inspires and engages across creative disciplines.

Intuition isn’t just a gut feeling. It’s a compass honed by time and experience. Born in South Korea and living in the United States, my design style weaves together a tapestry of influences from these distinct cultures. Even before they gained recognition in Korea, the gritty street subcultures of America inspired me early on. This cultural fusion energizes my creative compass, guiding me between the poles of these extremes and making both feel like home. In graphic design, this compass is indispensable. It helps me navigate through uncharted territories to uncover striking visual concepts.
