Marie Hyon

Born in Seoul, Korea and moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn at the age of 9. Navigated her way through ensuing challenges but walked away the wiser. She got hooked on the street culture of New York City – tactile, disruptive, inspirational – attended Parsons School of Design where she finished with a BA. Next came editorial illustrations for the NY Times, Atlantic Monthly etc., and a run as a designer/art director at Nickelodeon/ MTV Networks. In 2000, she was one of five co-founders of Psyop which started in a small bar in alphabet city, in the East Village, and is today an industry-leading integrated production company with offices in LA and NY. Marie lives and works in her favorite city of downtown Manhattan.
