Lee Ji-hyun

Ji-hyun joined Hanyang Mokjae after earning her Master's degree in Architectural Engineering from Korea University. She initially worked as a structural engineer for a large construction firm but was attracted to Hanyang Mokjae's blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques. Her technical knowledge of building codes and structural requirements complements the practical experience of the carpenters.

Experience: 8 years experience in structural design with specialized knowledge of wood structural systems (7/10)

Favorite Jobs

• CAD design
• Structural calculations
• Client presentations
• Material estimation

I love translating client dreams into structurally sound, buildable designs that honor both Korean aesthetic traditions and modern functionality. The challenge of balancing beauty, practicality, and structural integrity makes every project a fascinating puzzle to solve.

Physical Condition

Healthy and energetic. Today she is feeling fresh after her morning yoga routine which helps her maintain good posture despite long hours at the computer workstation.

Favorite Place

Ji-hyun's favorite place is the design office at Hanyang Mokjae where modern technology meets traditional craftsmanship. The large windows overlook the production floor, allowing her to witness her designs take physical form. She has personalized her workspace with precisely arranged reference materials, architectural models, and a collection of wood samples from various species used in their projects. This blend of digital and physical elements represents her approach to bridging traditional craftsmanship with modern design practices.
