The world we live in is bigger than we can fully grasp and holds more diversity than we know exists. While it would be easy to continue creating from a place of familiarity, discovering new places and people will challenge us as creatives to have a more complete perspective.

Chris Georgiev is a software engineer, graphic designer and founder of Imagga, and AI-powered image recognition software. Chris is Bulgarian, but has lived in Seoul, South Korea for more than a decade. Chris and Holly began a friendship while sharing time in Seoul, and have remained friends ever since.

In today’s episode of The Holly Hughes Podcast, Holly talks to Chris about being a foreigner living in Seoul, how Chris got there, and what it means to adopt a new culture as your own.
