Im, Jung A - Set & Costume Designer

I, Jung A Im, had grown up and worked in Seoul, South Korea.

I entered the National Theatre School of Canada in August 2018 to become a Set & Costume designer, working as a set designer for Indecent by Paula Vogel in December 2020 with director Mike Payette and as a costume designer for ‘I Got My Life Back!’ by Sarah Currie in April 2021 with director Arianna Bardesono performed at the Ludger, Monument National.

 

Prior to that, I worked for about 11 years and 6 months as a visual merchandiser at the Doota Mall & Duty-Free division marketing team of DOOSAN Group, a corporation in Seoul, South Korea, from December 2006 to June 2018. During my tenure at the Doosan Group, I contributed to the design of space, seasonal display, and sales promotion of Doota Mall.

​

I graduated from Hongik University, Seoul, majoring in Industrial Design in February 2007, and during my tenure, I majored in Communications in Fashion Industry at Yon-sei Graduate School of Human Environmental Sciences from 2011 to 2014. 

My desire for theatre made me leave the stable company in 2018 and come to Canada with my family. (Official resignation in 2020)

​

I can see through the essence of the play, reinterpreting the inspiration from the story from my own perspective and communicating with the audience based on my original artistic sense. Whenever I meet each play, I understand the stories with my heart and assimilate them deeply.
