A Inn Doo
The In (仁) in my name signifies the beauty of a fully realized person. In Confucian philosophy, In is both a way of loving others and staying true to oneself—an idea that only becomes meaningful when practiced. Coincidentally, In is my name, the philosophy I was raised with, and the quiet compass that shapes how I live, design, and collaborate.
I see theatrical design as a dialogue between the visible and the invisible, the fixed and the fleeting. Whether I’m interpreting a script or reimagining a space, I start from curiosity: What makes a person truly human? My design choices—be it the angle of a wall, the material of a floor, or the height of a desk—aim to activate something real and tactile in both performer and viewer.
Often, my inspiration comes not from a single striking image but from something quieter: an old photograph, a headline, or a memory from daily life. I believe that theater’s liveness and shared space create rare opportunities for perception to shift, even in small ways. That’s the kind of impact I hope to make—through scenography that listens, responds, and invites.
Currently pursuing Stage Design (scenic) MFA at Northwestern University.
