hi! i'm tarah.
I'm a graphic designer based in Chicago, Illinois.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, and am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Motion Graphics at DePaul University.
My path into design was nonlinear — beginning working in house for ecommerce studios and digital styling at Stitch Fix before moving into a self-educated freelance practice rooted in community and culture across the Bay Area.
I am currently doing design work within music and culture, creating visuals that help foster connection and experience.
Outside of design, I work as the Music Coordinator for PLAY at Public Works Gallery, curating electronic lineups of emerging and established Chicago artists, and co-founded Chicago Koreatown, a platform highlighting Korean American creators and creatives across Chicagoland.
