Joon Hee Kim: Who Am I?

oon Hee Kim, a Canadian ceramic artist born in Seoul, Korea, has a curious mind. Her career started as a graphic designer then an art director in Seoul, yet she found the two-dimensional format too limited and craved to work in three dimensions. However, she followed a different path and attended the famous Le Cordon Bleu school in Ottawa to obtain a diploma in Patisserie in 2010.
