I’m Edward, a senior creative copywriter based in Utrecht, consciously involved, fascinated by human behaviour, and a visual thinker who translates his imagination into words.
Originally from Seoul, I grew up at the Veluwe, which taught me the power of language and perspective. I realised that a single word can make a world of difference — words build ideas, and ideas can build entire worlds. This belief drives me every day as a creative copywriter.
In the past 16 years, I’ve written scripts for TV ads, online videos, radio spots, and social content. I’ve also developed brand names, taglines, and distinctive tones of voice. I even launched a fashion brand and co-founded a social content production studio.
Besides work, I push my limits at the gym, challenge myself with a hike or a run in nature, or explore new adventures with my son.
