“四年前，我们偶然发现了一座开放的房子，在我们的邻居中，真正激起了我们的兴趣，因为它是从100多年的未经处理的磨损和撕裂的情况下殴打。我们看到所需的所有工作，并爱上了骨头，我们可以创造的最佳布局和流量，进一步推动房屋中的现场/工作情况。我们在2014年获得了房子，并开始了广泛的装修，将其转化为理想的生活/工作栖息地我们现在可以享受。“

“我们真的想保留经典的维多利亚时代特征，加入现代补充以创造终极平衡。我们混合建筑饰面，并使用纯粹，材料和规模玩，以创造一个有趣的对比和质地。我们的有利材料包括不利的瓷砖，珩磨大理石，磨砂漆，抛光乌木和铜，黄铜和钢等生活饰面。“

“我一直在学着接受混乱，因为24小时保持整洁是不现实的。然而，为了尽量减少混乱，我们把Cy的书和玩具放在起居室的一个架子上，以及新装修的由客厅变成游戏室的底层架子上。我丈夫本给他做了一个木制的婴儿箱，让他在刚出生的时候睡在里面，后来变成了一个玩具箱。这是一种衡量该保留多少的好方法，因为如果它放不下盒子，那就把它拿走。”

“与十多年前我刚进入这个领域时相比，现在的设计看起来已经大不相同了。似乎从强调房间里的“东西”转向了体验的艺术，以及人们在其中的“感觉”。为此，我的理念是通过结合适合空间的建筑饰面、人造物品和个人纪念品，创造能够引发情感反应的空间，并全面提升一个人的生活方式。”

“我喜欢我们原来的客厅变成了游戏室!”这是房子前面进门的第一个房间。这两个客厅进我们办公室,但因为关闭了大门,我们已经能够创建另一个单独的房间,完全是baby-proofed除了客厅,我们可以一起出去玩,虽然不担心宝宝,作为他的东西在我们艺术书籍之间传播,因此我们都可以共存。它是一个不错的选择挂在房子后面(开放式厨房和家庭/客厅)，因为它有一个非常不同的氛围。改变环境是件好事，因为房间之间有一条35英尺(约合3.7米)高的走廊。”

“我们被问到这个问题很多,我的本能是说现代建筑,无框架的门柱,蓝色,绿色,和unpatinaed黄铜,但事实上,我们的风格是非常通用的,因为我们的工作范围的项目在某一年告诉我们随着时间的推移,我们的签名是我们适应几乎任何风格的能力。我们可以从建造一个装有17世纪法国木镶板的迷你凡尔赛宫，跳到建造一个millennial-pink茶叶店，到树林里的一只Wabi-Sabi简易别墅。对于每个项目，无论审美风格，我们都使其成为将每一个内部转化为我们自己居住的东西，并使每个项目令人惊讶的乐趣和超级有趣。我们的适应性是我最喜欢的签名。“

这是房子里最需要修缮的部分。这些战前住宅的本质是不稳定的，有多个房间都在中央走廊旁。这就是我们进屋时的感受。一条长长的通道通向其中的一个房间，然后连接到房子后面的一个开放式平面，在那里，厨房与餐厅、家庭和生活区相邻。结果是一个彻底开放的计划，流动，感觉就像情感上的解脱，从障碍被放下，一个人不会感到束缚。整栋房子的色调相当中性，建筑语言也很古典，这就是为什么我们更新了厨房，让它跟上时代的步伐，把橱柜一直搬到11英尺高的天花板上，把它漆成黑色，并以一些引人注目的纹理大理石石板为特色。这样做与整个房子形成了对比，感觉就像一个受欢迎的惊喜。”

“家庭作业被认为是对时代的需求的回应。2014年似乎与机会成熟。市场健康，经济强劲，人们愿意冒险。在实现这一点时，我的丈夫本和我准备合并了我们的互补技能集和管理自己的项目，因此我们将大门轻轻开启，并在一次开始一个项目。“

“我出生并在洛杉矶的中心养了父母仍然活着。我去了Uc Berkeley为本科生，并在欧洲智力历史和修辞中获得了一个双重专业。我花了我的大三年度住在科尔多巴的一个可爱的家庭，Spain, which was quite a highlight of my life. I moved to S.F. after graduating and worked in non-profit development and grant writing for the S.F. Symphony. It hit me that I needed to be uncomfortable and do some pretty major things with my life, which then prompted a move to New York to pursue higher education. Once I got to grad school at Columbia, things didn’t feel right. So, I dropped out and then enrolled in Parsons School of Design to pursue a creative path in Interior Design. I got to work for some forward-thinking boutique firms designing hotels, bars, and restaurants in NYC and abroad. Then I met Ben. We moved out of our Brooklyn apartment and drove cross-country to S.F. when the recession hit in 2010."

＂母亲has ignited in me a newfound sense of purpose and a renewed devotion to my craft. Since time has become more valuable than ever upon becoming a mother, I strive everyday to use it well, to be more productive than I’ve ever been in my life, and have my work reflect my passion and drive. That sharpened focus comes from realizing that my child looks up to me and that what he sees of me shapes his worldview. I want to show him what a strong, determined, and confident woman looks like, so in that sense I feel a deeper connection to my career path and to honing my skillset that much more."

“我正在努力。让我感到鼓舞的是，我的支持体系年复一年地在成长。我发现为人父母可能会让人疏远，但如果你真的想要的话，会让你看到一个充满支持你的母亲的世界，其中一些人会成为你最亲密的朋友。我从来都不知道我有多需要这个世界。自从孩子出生后，我们的家人一直慷慨地支持我们，在他们离开后，给我们留下了永恒的爱和营养。我确实为没有这个邻近的直系家族而苦恼——我相信这是我们作为一个物种进化的关键。”

＂Don’t attempt to do it all. Just pick one thing. Maybe two. Do your best, because your best is enough. As far as working with your spouse, don’t force it. The reason why Ben and I work together is because we recognize that our complementary skill sets are an asset to our clients, projects, and business, so we chose this route, not defaulted to it. It’s not even that we wanted to be together all the time, in fact we were reluctant about it. Not all couples are meant to do everything together everyday. But if it works smoothly, it is a wonderful thing. For me, I wouldn’t have it any other way, now that we’ve figured out a way for us to work 24/7. However this past year being first-time parents was a struggle in that we had the full-time load of caring for our baby in addition to our demanding workload. In retrospect, we could’ve used a lot more help. Get the extra help."

＂I’m inspired to step outside my comfort zone all the more by embracing the chaos, and not running to clean it up right away either. That applies to parenthood and some of our work projects. The intention with that is to roll with it and allow the natural ups and downs of life to play out, and suppress my need to control every moment. I love setting intentions because it helps me focus on why I want to work on something and then keeps me that much more focused as I march towards the bigger picture."

“幸运的是，它的整体非常顺利，甚至很大，甚至是我的惊喜。我以为我会讨厌它的每一秒钟。我有奢侈的时间才能孕育，享受旅程。没有繁重的工作负荷，no stress. Trying to conceive was something I put off as long as I could. But when it luckily happened I dove into the journey, practiced yoga, did breath work, meditated, napped, and ended up feeling bonded with this life form I was creating inside my body. I labored in the comfort of our home and ended up pushing him out at our nearby hospital when we realized he wanted to come earth-side at the hospital instead of in our living room like we had imagined. We walked home the next day with our new bundle."

an interview on NPR with Molly Caro May, author of Body Full of Stars: Female Rage and My Passage into Motherhood. The title alone spoke to me. While the author specifically grappled with unexpected health issues upon having her baby, which led to anger over her body’s betrayal, I fortunately did not have to navigate any health complications. But what unites us is what we were left with: this feeling of rage over not being able to understand what’s going on with us, feeling disconnected from ourselves and others, and ultimately feeling listless and helpless as the successful, modern women we’ve come to identity with or at least strive to be. After all the progress we’ve made as a culture, it still doesn’t feel quite safe to be in a dark place, nor is there adequate language to explore and discuss these experiences in a way that truly does justice. There’s so much more work to be done so that these discussions can feel healthy, and women don’t feel judged or like pariahs."">

“作为一个周末工作6-7天的移民父母的孩子，我的妹妹和我是Latchkey的孩子，我们照顾和互相娱乐。我的父亲是严格的，只是想让我们读并尽力而为。我的母亲is a survivor of the Korean war who migrated from her home as a child in search of safety. Together they taught us the importance of working hard to not just get by but to get ahead. Luckily they didn’t impose on us an Ivy League education or any other pressures that didn’t seem fit for us. We didn’t have much, but we were a close knit unit, and we were purposely raised in the diverse streets of Hollywood Los Angeles and I grew up going to public schools and having friends of all different backgrounds. L.A. was a wonderful place to grow up and be a kid. I wasn’t sheltered, and I grew up pretty fast. I got into trouble. I got involved with rowdy kids. But I was industrious and found fun jobs. My first one was on Melrose Avenue selling vintage Levi’s. Then one summer in high school I worked at the Hollywood Bowl ushering people to their seats while being able to see some fun shows outdoors. I followed my cooler older sister around Hollywood and downtown L.A. in my teens and my fondest memories include seeing a lot of shows and watching indie films at art houses and theaters with her."

“有必要让我的儿子了解他的传统，以及他母亲那边的祖先来自哪里，尽管我和韩国的关系不是很紧密，因为我出生在洛杉矶，并在那里长大。我不是在韩国长大的，我在那里也没有什么家人。幸运的是，我的父母在我很小的时候就把我送到了韩国学校，所以我通过语言和韩国文化有了很强的联系，因为我和我的父母说韩语。我喜欢塞在他的两对从英语到韩语的祖父母之间切换，他可以体验这两个传统和风格世界之间的丰富多样性。”

＂Lately I’ve gone from feeling jilted and angry to deriving so much power and inspiration from the dissenters, resisters, activists, and leaders of change in response to this very abnormal political era that we are living through. Jilted and angry to learn of the millions of people getting destroyed by this administration on a daily basis, and also upon the realization that my son may inherit a world in worse shape than the one we have now, but empowered and heartened to be led by courageous people in the wake of these times who risk their lives to not stay complicit, but instead use their voices to defend the truth. I’m emboldened by these examples, especially the many newly elected Congresswomen, to keep reaching for that ever-close frontier where motherhood and being a woman of color is an asset, not an impediment."

＂I’ve practiced yoga for 20 years and it’s the one modality of healing that really allows me to shine and be my best self. I strive to practice 2-3 times a week, but that’s not always doable. I like to sit still for 10 minutes with my eyes closed every morning, listening to ocean sounds. I guess that’s called meditating, but it’s really about being super still and doing active, deep breath work. Also, bathing is a huge ritual in our family that allows us to cleanse the day off. To that end, we’ve invested in a deep copper Japanese soaking tub that makes bathing super enjoyable."
