Q&A in Seoul

Seoul is full of talented people, that’s why I decided to start this new project called Q&A in Seoul. I’ll try to do short interviews to interesting people around the city.
The first person I chose was Sandra, designer of yesimfrench brand. I asked her to be the one who started this section (same day we met for our collaboration). After you see the awesome patbingsu (팥빙수) we ate in Garosu-gil, you can read her answers!

Nice concept, and I’m going to echo Tom’s comment: I want to know more! What lessons have they learned living here? Tips they have for visitors to their neighborhood?
Great way to learn more about interesting people living in Korea :) Looking forward to reading more!

Interesting concept! Most of the foreigners in the media are English teachers, so it’s nice to hear about what other foreigners are doing here! Looking forward to more interviews!

Awesome idea. I’m sure you could walk down some Seoul streets and find tons of people that’d be interesting to talk to. Maybe you could gear the questions more to the person’s work and what inspires them?
I look forward to checking out more of these!
