Resume
April Seo is a New York–based graphic designer currently pursuing a BFA in Communication Design at Parsons School of Design. Originally from Daegu, South Korea, she draws from personal observations and poetic storytelling, reflecting on experiences shaped by living in various parts of Korea and the U.S. Her work explores the quiet intersections of memory, materiality, and urban space.
Her practice spans print, photography, and web, often blurring the line between analog and digital. Through tactile forms, typographic exploration, and subtle narrative cues, her work creates space for the overlooked, the sentimental, and the ephemeral.
She is currently:
assisting fashion thesis photoshoots, (needing to go back to) making a pair of boots, having too much fun at tattoo workshops, looking into learning SFX makeup and ballroom vogue
but most of all
hoping to work on set for Yorgos Lanthimos or produce a runway show some day
