ABOUT
Hi, I am Gun Lee.
I am a visual communicator and a graphic designer based in Seoul, Korea.
Currently, I run a publishing house called Leewonbooks in Seoul, South Korea. The main categories are politics, law, history, garden design, and illustrated storybooks.
Having to be brought up in a family of Law and Christianity, I naturally grew up to have passionate discussions on topics such as justice and hegemonic frames.
I am deeply curious about and fascinated by irrational human acts of double-standard.
