Soojin Kang was born in Seoul, South Korea and moved to Exeter,  England in 2000 where she trained her first deign skill. Upon finishing her foundation courses in Art and Deign at Exeter College in 2003 she moved to London and began her Bachelors in Fashion design at Central Saint Martins of Art and Deign College.

While Kang was still studying, she was taking work experiences at fashion companies including Roland Mouret and Jonathan Saunders. After she graduated in 2007 she worked as an intern for Burberry ltd until she went back to University and began her Masters in Textile Futures in 2008.

In 2008, during her first year of MA, she was awarded by Samsonite textile competition for constructive textile. The project leaded her to focus on working with textiles in 3D forms and later to make furniture inspired textiles and fashion design.

In 2009, she graduated from MA in Textile futures at Central Saint Martins with a collection ‘A Continuous Chain’. The collection comprised of a series of knitted chair and wearable, displaying on the recycled table made by abandoned doors. Her works were soon invited by Mint shop and Beldam gallery for the exhibition in September, 2009 in London.

In April 2010, she exhibited a series of her hand made chairs at Salone satellite and the knitted chair was immediately sold by a collector in Milan.

Soojin’s work is focused equally on aesthetics and tactility, Kang seeks to evoke a heightened, intensified state of being in all who interact with her work.

Soojin works on creating new identities and strives to tell stories through her designs. As a creative, Soojin currently works on a broad range of projects, though her inspiration always comes from the same place – from materials, colours and the feelings they conjure up.
