Color, texture, and silhouette. Summer perceives things with these elements in a way that connects memories from her youth. Every summer started with a private trunk show of winter collections presented by designers and organized by her grandmother. She always made absolute decisions for her winter coats. Every winter began with sourcing items that went to charity. Wardrobe was her comfort zone; museums were her playgrounds; creativity was and still is her  companion. She has naturally been guided to a lifelong research and practice beauty.

Art, commerce, and media. Summer has pursued creating meaningful collaborations by opening herself up to these avenues for inspiration and experiences. She is a visual director, fashion editor, and luxury consultant, created cross-border projects and teamed up with both public and private sectors. She’s been an ambassador and VP Asia at Jalou Media Group and worked as a fashion editor for L'OFFICIEL Italia and L'UOMO Vogue. She was also an advisor to the Metropolitan City of Seoul and Seoul Fashion Week from 2013 to 2017, a guest curator for the Hanbok exhibition held in the Korean Culture Center in Brussels, Madrid, and Beijing from 2015 to 2016, and a publisher of two books about Hanbok supported by Korean Craft and Design Foundation in 2015.
Summer envisions a better future cultivating art patronage and generating growth, leveraging what she has learned in luxury and art capitals.
