ART AND ALT Design Studio specializes in graphic design and illustration-based lectures, while also expanding into spatial VMD, planning, marketing, and art direction.
The name ART AND ALT comes from the architectural slang “Alt,” short for “alternative,” meaning a better option that leads to faster development and clearer solutions. With this mindset, I built the studio around the process of finding effective and thoughtful methods.
Because my interests and skills span many fields, it can be hard to define my role in a single phrase. When people ask what I do, I often say: “I design logos, posters, and packaging, but I also work on painting and occasionally architectural projects.”
Rather than limiting myself to one area, I embrace a broad, hands-on approach—always learning, exploring, and creating with care.
