Her recent filmography reveals a concentrated output in short-form experimental animation, with both works (2021-2022) addressing psychological and relational themes through visual metaphors. The films demonstrate technical proficiency in blending Eastern cultural aesthetics with Western animation frameworks, particularly evident in her use of weather symbolism and domestic settings to convey emotional states. Her primary recognition is the IndieFEST Film Award (2021), while her films have also achieved official selection status at major international festivals including Bucheon International Animation Festival (BIAF) and Boden International Film Festival. Though her faculty role implies teaching responsibilities within Graphic Design, no student advisement details or grant funding are documented. Her architectural background likely informs spatial composition in animation, but institutional research infrastructure like labs or collaborative teams remains unspecified in available materials.
