Zines
A decade of creating zines and publications exploring the intersection of cycling, advocacy, and design. Working as a designer, writer, creator, and self-publisher.
Returning by Bike Zine Series
Through Returning by Bike, my ongoing zine series, I document bikepacking journeys from Seoul to Busan, along Korea’s East Coast from Sokcho to Pohang, and around Jeju Island. Across two self-published zines, I blend practical bike touring guides with personal reflections on adoption, culture, and homecoming.
The series explores the many ways adoptees reconnect with Korea and reminds readers that there’s no right way to return. Your story, your path, and your pace are all valid.
Korean Coasts Zine
Korean Coasts is the second chapter of my bicycle journey through Korea, exploring identity, belonging, and landscape as a Korean adoptee. The zine follows two very different rides: a solo bike tour along Korea's East Coast and a group ride around Jeju Island with friends. Part practical bike touring guide and part personal reflection, it shares route GPS maps, food, culture, and what it felt like to return to my homeland by bike.
More than a cycling story, it's about slowing down, reconnecting, and discovering how movement through a place can deepen your understanding of where you come from.

Seoul to Busan Zine
Riding from Seoul to Busan was more than just a bike ride, it was a way to move through memory, belonging, and identity at my own pace. This zine shares a small part of that journey, and I hope it reminds others, especially fellow adoptees, that your story, your way of returning, and your pace are all valid.
Inside, you’ll also find practical tips for biking the Seoul to Busan route, including a link to the map, route history, where to camp or stay in motels, and more.

Fill the pages with memories, drawings, favorite places, and reasons to protect them. Then stamp it, send it to the Department of the Interior, and share your voice with Secretary Burgum.
Public lands are not for sale. They belong in public hands.

Ironwood Overnighter Zine
A lil zine for anyone wanting an analog guide to bikepacking the Ironwood Overnighter.
Teamed up with The Wilderness Society to get more folks out to Ironwood Forest National Monument (a lowkey gem just outside of Tucson, Arizona).
Inside the zine are tips, a route map, and GPS links to keep you on track. Best for folks who don’t mind a little chunk, seclusion, and big desert views.

Get Rad Be Radical Publication Series
As co-founder of Radical Adventure Riders (RAR), I co-created two community-driven publications, Get Rad Be Radical and Making Space and Stepping Back.
Featuring stories and creative work from over 30 contributors, the publications celebrate diverse voices in cycling and explore themes of representation, inclusion, leadership, and community building. Together, they reflect RAR’s mission to make cycling more welcoming and accessible while creating space for underrepresented voices to be heard.
Making Space and Stepping Back
The second publication from Radical Adventure Riders (RAR), featuring community stories and creative contributions that explore leadership, accessibility, and the importance of making space for others.
A reflection on how we build more inclusive cycling communities through collaboration, shared experiences, and knowing when to step back.
