Soonju came to Salt Lake City to study architecture and has been with GSBS since 2010. She always puts the end users’ interests first and has delivered some highly complex projects. Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Soonju enjoys take on new challenges. Her adventures become deep roots into understanding diverse perspectives.

Outside of GSBS, Soonju can be found hanging out with the “three cutest ones on earth, my baby, my corgi and my husband.” If she finds additional time, she contributes to the beauty of Salt Lake City through public art pieces. One of her current pieces is installed at the Salt Lake International Airport.

Soonju leads the Design Architect role for major projects at GSBS, focusing on the early phases including feasibility study, conceptual design, and schematic design. She directs the vision casting process and engages a broad range of stakeholders and disciplines (both internal and external) to arrive at inclusive, sustainable, and meaningful design solutions.
