안녕하세요, 작가 문요입니다.
저는 서핑, 캠핑과 같은 아웃도어 활동에서 느낀 감정과 경험을 바탕으로 작업을 합니다. 몇 년 전 시작한 서핑은 삶의 전환점이 되었고, 그 체험의 순간을 회화, 그림책, 오브제, 확장현실(XR) 등의 매체로 표현하고 있습니다. 자연 속에서 느끼는 자유로움, 소중한 이들과 함께하는 추억을 담고자 합니다.
카이스트에서 산업디자인을 공부하면서 학사 및 석사 과정을 마친 후, 5년 동안 삼성SDS에서 디자이너로 일했습니다. 일을 하면서 자유롭게 상상한 것을 현실로 만들어 내는 데에 열정을 느꼈고, 그림과 스토리텔링을 배우기 위해 SI 그림책 학교에 다녔습니다. 오랜 기간 동안 학습한 다양한 분야들을 융합해 보는 것이 목표입니다. 대학교에서 배운 제품 및 인터랙션 디자인, 회사에서 익힌 기술 트렌드와 UX, 그리고 그림책 학교에서 습득한 일러스트와 스토리텔링을 결합하여 새롭고 재미있는 콘텐츠를 만들어가고 있습니다.
2020년 볼로냐 국제아동 도서전 올해의 일러스트레이터, 상하이 국제아동 도서전 Golden Pinwheel 50 Finalists, 2023년 볼로냐 국제아동 도서전 Italian Excellence: Illustrations for Italo Calvino의 Winner로 선정되었습니다.
Hello, I am Moon Yo Lee. I engage in various works, including picture book illustrations, paintings, objects, and extended reality (XR). After majoring in industrial design at KAIST(Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology)and completing both bachelor's and master's degrees, I spent 5 years as a UX and service designer at Samsung SDS.
Passionate about bringing imaginative ideas to life, I pursued illustration and storytelling at the SI Picture Book School. Currently, I focus on picture book projects, blending personal emotions from outdoor activities like surfing and camping into paintings and objects.
My goal is to integrate diverse fields I've studied over the years. Combining product and interaction design from university, technology trends and UX from my corporate experience, and illustration and storytelling from the picture book school, I create new and exciting content.
In 2020, I was recognized as the winning Illustrator of the Bologna Children's Book Fair, a Golden Pinwheel 50 Finalist at the Shanghai International Children's Book Fair, and a winner of Italian Excellence: Illustrations for Italo Calvino at the Bologna International Children's Book Fair in 2023.
