The story of a woman designer-turned-llustrator who moved from Geoje Island to Seoul.

I thought I would be settled in 30s. But even at the midst of my 30s, I still didn't feel like I knew enough about myself. When I turned 35, I started to seriously think about my future. And I decided to become an illustrator and move to Seoul from Geoje Island. The book contains everything I felt during this transition. It also shows the process of 37 pieces of my work.
