Hello, this is Jaehoon Choi,
Graphic designer and owner of
Design Studio Werk.

I worked as a graphic designer
for various projects including
the Nike By You Seoul and Hongdae store,
the DOOSAN Humanities Theater 2022: fairness,
the Naver 1784 brand store product launch, and more.
Currently I'm working on a variety of

based on adaptable design languages.

I know that there are a lot of you
struggling in creating distinct
and appealing designs.

This is why I would like to help

and build your own design solutions
so that you could be flexible yet identifiable
in any project you undertake.
