Bio
Julia Baek, a South Korean artist and designer, was raised in both southern California and Beijing. Growing up in a constantly changing multi-cultural environment, she believes she did not have the opportunity to cherish her childhood moments to the fullest. She finds inspiration from aspects of her childhood through her eyes.
She loves to incorporate motifs of playfulness into her work because not everything has to be so serious. She enjoys working with color and experimenting with new unusual materiality. With a background in menswear design, Julia discovered a newfound love for footwear design during Covid19 and is interested in further exploring the different aspects of footwear.
