Heejung found herself struggling to blend in with American culture and it unknowingly raised issues about her cultural identity. She had a great opportunity to explore her personal journey to define her cultural identity and hopefully become a better graphic designer.

Her MFA thesis project shows how individuals reconcile their Korean-American cultural identities and personal differences in a multi-generational and transracial context. This book tells the stories of Korean-American interracial couples, Korean adoptees, and people of Korean-American mixed decent living in America today.
