우리는 친절하고 책임감있게 열심히 일합니다. 
그리고 무엇보다 의미있고 아름다운 전시를 만듭니다. 논스탠다드는 클라이언트의 성공적인 전시를 위한 다양한 작업을 수행하고 있습니다. 전시 공간에서부터 브랜딩에 이르는 전반적인 전략을 수립하고 실행합니다. 국내외 다양한 예술기관 및 기업, 아티스트와 협업하고 있으며 프로젝트 제안은 기획의 개요와 시기, 예산을 포함하여 이메일로 보내주세요. 감사합니다.

선화예술고등학교 미술부를 졸업하고 홍익대학교에서 건축학을 전공했습니다. 미국 로드아일랜드 디자인 스쿨에서 실내건축 석사학위를, 서울대학교 미술대학에서 “유희적 상호작용 증진을 위한 미술관 전시디자인 모델 연구"로 디자인학 박사학위를 받았습니다. 뉴욕을 비롯해 파리와 런던, 밀라노, 덴마크 등 다양한 국가와 문화권에서 건축, 인테리어, 사진 교육 및 워크샵에 참여하며 활동의 폭을 넓혀왔습니다. 예술 전반에 대한 지식과 경험을 바탕으로 2011년 뉴욕 현대미술관 모마에서 큐레이터 사라 마이스터의 큐레이팅 인턴으로 미술계에 입문했으며 그 때부터 전시를 만드는 일에 전문적으로 참여해왔습니다. 큐레이터 마리아 린드가 이끄는 광주비엔날레 국제큐레이터코스에 선발되어 수료하였으며, 이후  대림미술관에서 큐레이터로 근무했습니다. 2015년 논스탠다드 스튜디오를 설립하고 전시 디자이너로 다양한 예술기관의 많은 전시에 참여해오고 있습니다. 그와 더불어 대학에서 학생들에게 건축과 디자인을 가르치고 있으며, 세계박물관대회와 같은 학술대회 발표 및 학술활동을 계속해나가고 있으며 다양한 매체에 컬럼과 글을 기고합니다. 전시 기획에서 디자인의 역할과 책임을 누구보다 명확하게 인식하고 미술현장에서 이를 수준높은 방식을 통해 발전시켜 연구해나가고자 합니다.
