Your Stories, Shared

At Saseo.Studio, I work with small businesses to share the stories behind what they do. Through photography, writing, and digital media, I create content that reflects the real character of a business and the community around it.

I approach this work like a historian. I spend time getting to know business owners, learning their history and paying attention to client engagement and connection. From there, I help turn those stories into thoughtful content that helps people understand and connect with the business.

Services include:

  • Professional photography for products, events, and spaces

  • Community partnerships and event coordination

  • Editorial writing

  • Social media support

  • Website development and maintenance

  • Longer projects like books, zines, and other printed materials

My interest in digital storytelling is both personal and academic. I hold a PhD in history, and as a Korean adoptee, questions of history, identity and record-keeping have always been close to me. That perspective shapes how I listen to, document, and share the stories of small businesses.

Your archive is your digital footprint, the record created by the work you do in your community. I help small businesses document and share that record so their story stays clear, lasting, and true to who they are.
