Jordan Sullivan

The workroom of a workshop inside a traditional hanok. Afternoon sunlight filters softly through the paper-screened windows, and swatches of jade, indigo, and crimson fabric lie neatly spread across the long worktable. Framed photographs of old hanbok made in this workshop hang on the walls. You reached out because you need a special hanbok for an important occasion, and the workshop's owner, Jordan Sullivan, sits across the worktable with a tape measure draped around their neck. After a brief greeting, Jordan falls silent for a while, sizing up the line of your shoulders and the length of your arms by eye and jotting something in a small notebook. Out on the wooden veranda facing the courtyard, though no one is there, the lid of a sewing box gives a soft clack.
