About
Welcome to Breathing Margins! My name is Jisun An and this website showcases my visual design work and blog posts.
I’ve studied visual design and art. I have a B.A. Visual Communication Design from Ohio State University, a B.F.A. Art Education from Sungkyunkwan University, and a M.S.in Digital Media from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
I have extensive work experience in visual design. I worked as a freelance designer and interned at Wexner Center for the Arts. After that I worked as a graphic designer at Lorenc+Yoo Design. Then I worked at Fleishman-Hillard in Washington, D.C. At Georgia Tech, I worked for the [ICE] Lab/Studio and Public Design Workshop. Also I taught Graphic Design courses at Herzing University and worked at the University of Michigan as a graphic designer. I am currently teaching at Kyungil University.
