The People behind
Yuree Hwang
Founder/Designer
Half of Yuree’s family lives in Korea, while the other half is in America. Born in the United States, she completed her studies in Korea before beginning her career in the States. Now residing in Singapore with her husband, two children, a cat, a small fish tank, and an assortment of tropical plants, she continues to reflect on the identity of Korean ex-pats and immigrants—an exploration that inspired her to start bommoi.
