What, Who, Why, and other Pertinent Details

semitransient.com is the personal portfolio of Jeeyun Kim, a designer, a dreamer, an idealist, and a pixel-pusher with a predilection for wandering. I grew up in a small town in Virginia, moved from there to Boston to get my degree in Architectural Design from MIT, traveled to South Korea to explore the homeland, moved back to the States to graduate with an M.Arch from UPenn's School of Design, and now find myself, ineffably, in Houston, TX. At some point there was a semester abroad in London, a month in Mexico City, and a summer as a camp counselor in which I had the singular honor of giving the awkward "Congratulations, You are Now Officially a Woman" Talk to one of my young charges. Ahem. I crochet, consume vast quantities of media, and spend an inordinate amount of time brooding over some combination of the following: existential crises, Lars von Trier, socialism, where I can find a good beer, the Trolley Problem, Wayne Coyne, and why puns are so fantastic.

Why "semitransient?" I was never very good at making catchy names that didn't end up sounding incredibly "emo." Whether or not I have had a life-long love affair with argyle socks has nothing to do with this name, however. It came about from an observation of a specific point in time when everything was constantly in flux, and I found myself moving house every few months. Also it seemed as though I was forever trying to carve out some form of permanence in an intangible digital environment with this cataloging of ephemeral projects.

But really, that's more than you cared to know isn't it. Thanks for visiting! Here is a random photo of my foot:

Now here is a random photo of me wearing a hat I crocheted:
