The project started with on-the-ground research of Korea Town in Manhattan and Queens. I became curious about the specific Korean banks found in both areas. While researching Korean customs and banking, I found how a slice of the community uses a non-banking method called Kae — a community financial support system. During the research, Covid-19 started spreading throughout NYC. This led to the design outcome of an informational website to help businesses in Korea Town not accustomed to banking with information on recieving government help, like PPP.
