About Me

Yo! I'm Paul Jun — a curious and creative writer, strategist, and photographer. Born and raised in New Jersey, saved by Brooklyn.

I've worked in tech, start-ups, agencies, and mission-driven organizations. I co-founded The Observers, a publication on photographers and photobooks. I've worked at COLLINS, CreativeMornings, and The altMBA. Currently, I'm the Principal Brand Strategist at Mixpanel. I also published Connect the Dots: Strategies and Meditations on Self-education.

My experience allowed me to pick up skills that help brands find their voice, unlock stories, and differentiate themselves from a sea of sameness.

At the heart of my work is uncovering language and stories that only the brand can tell. Building strategies where great work is built from. It's about going from words to works.
