Experience
Dami is a passionate writer who began her professional career in 2023 at The Korea Times. Her most notable piece was an article on unrealistic K-beauty standards. In late 2024, she joined Static Media as a news writer for The List and now writes for Women and House Digest. It's the perfect combination for her, as when she's not diving into societal issues or skincare trends, she loves finding ways to add more meaning to a space through thoughtful décor and design. Whenever she travels, she loves exploring how different cultures design their everyday spaces.
