She was born and raised in Switzerland and has been living in Korea for over a decade. What began as travel and personal connections gradually turned into a decision to stay. She is now based in Jeju, working as a freelance illustrator. She collaborates with international publishers, focusing mainly on book covers and interior illustrations, often drawing figures and imaginative scenes rooted in literature and mythology. Her work is primarily based on analogue painting using acrylics on paper, followed by minimal digital adjustments after completion. Alongside this, she continues to document Jeju’s landscapes in sketchbooks, transforming them into prints and handmade art zines. Looking ahead, she plans to develop projects that reinterpret Korean and Jeju folklore through her own fantasy illustration language, as well as a book collecting her drawings made on the island.

Jung Boram worked in the fashion and clothing industry in Seoul for over ten years. Seeking possibilities beyond industry-driven fashion, he moved to Jeju to explore clothing made in closer relationship with nature. He now grows organic cotton in Gwangpyeong-ri, Andeok-myeon, and works across the entire process from seeds to thread, fabric, and finished garments. Early in his life on the island, he spent a month walking Jeju without a mobile phone, an experience that became a turning point in how he saw the land and its people. From that time, he shaped the idea of “doing fashion through agriculture,” connecting natural materials and inspiration directly to design. Mokhwaoreum is not just a farm, but a place where farming, making, festivals, and exchange come together, as he continues to experiment with sustainable markets and new ways of working.

Originally from Poland, she has lived in Korea for 17 years and has been based in Jeju for the past four, building her daily life on the island.

She first came to Korea on a government scholarship, later settling through work and marriage, and eventually chose Jeju after experiencing burnout from corporate life in Seoul.

A close encounter with haenyeo during her travels left a strong impression, leading her to write a novel inspired by their lives and, ultimately, to move to Jeju herself.

While walking along the shore, she began collecting colorful shells, which grew into a craft practice using materials gathered from the Jeju sea to create everyday objects such as norigae and bookmarks.

As interest in her work led to sales, she expanded into one-day classes and offline events, continuing to find new ways to introduce the story of Jeju’s shells to a wider audience.
