Hi, I’m Youngseo Kwon, a Fine Arts student at the University of Waterloo with a passion for expressive art and community engagement. I enjoy exploring creativity across visual arts, design, and performance, and I thrive in collaborative environments where empathy and teamwork matter. Beyond the classroom, I take on leadership roles, volunteer in music and language programs, and bring a curious, adaptable mindset to every project—whether serving customers, teaching art, or leading worship.
