Olivia Paek

Born in Seoul, South Korea, raised in East Texas, educated under Lanny Sommese at Penn State University. I have nearly 20 years of experience in the design industry that ranges from editorial, federal government, packaging, photography, advertising, identity, rebranding, and web design. My career has taken me from New York City, Seoul, Grand Cayman, Texas, and the Washington DC area. My motto in life and design: "Less is More."

Love: photography, food & wine, traveling near and far, listening to foreign accents, live music, interior design, home-improvement shows, and hanging out with my family

Dislike: bad manners and mosquitos
