# 참고로 민구홍은…

Born March 5, 1985. I received formal Montessori education in 1989, around the age of five. I first encountered a computer, a Macintosh LC, in 1991, around the age of seven, and made my first website for a dear friend in 1995, around the age of eleven. I studied literature and linguistics at Chung-Ang University and computer programming at the School for Poetic Computation (SFPC) in the US (though I prefer to call it “literature and linguistics in a narrow sense,” or simply “poetic computation”), and learned various practical skills, including knot tying, ikebana, and design, through Google. I worked as a researcher in Professor Ahn Sang-soo’s laboratory at Hongik University (also known as “Wing House”) (despite the title, there was hardly any work to do). After working in the Publishing Division at Ahn Graphics, I work as an editor at Workroom, planning books such as Practical Books and Ametora. Meanwhile, I run the one-person company Min Guhong Manufacturing. I discuss and teach coding from the perspective of “practical yet conceptual writing” at New Order, a self-described “cultural course for modern people.” Books I have translated include Forget All the Rules About Graphic Design. Including the Ones in This Book. (Studio Ghost, 2017).
