Hey. now, A:R Nation!
Let's talk powerful and emotional storytelling.
Do you feel that you have issues sharing your thoughts and emotions in word?
Ever thought about using a physical medium to express those thoughts and emotions?
Well, that's what our guest helps people do.
HyeJun Park is a talented designer here in the NYC area.
She owns and operates two companies:
Luxitune, where she creates and designs elegant accessories for classical string instruments; and
Hi June Parker fine jewelry and custom designs.
In this episode, HyeJun shares her fascinating story of ending up learning metalsmithing in college (in the face of her family wanting her to pursue other careers).
She shares how the idea of Luxitune, her first company and endeavor, came about from a chance meeting and conversation she had after attending a recital of Metropolitan Opera violinist Katherine Fong.
HyeJun shares insight on working with a custom jewelry designer, and how she works with her clients to use jewelry to express and share stories and emotion through custom pieces.
She even shares some quick tips about how to use pieces of jewelry that you may have laying around, as well as why it may be worthwhile to work with a custom jeweler to bring new life to old jewelry that you may have.
This is a really fun episode that embodies "creating by your design." This is the Adulthood:Revisited Podcast.

Adulthood: Revisited
I dunno about y'all, but in the last few years I've been trying to figure who I am.
I've asked myself who am I as a person, as a man, as a partner in relationship, who am I in business.
I wonder if who I am is really who I want to be
If not, when did it change, and what can I do to tap into who I really want to be.
If you've asked yourself questions like these, then I invite you to join me on this journey, Adulthood: Revisited.
