When Wootak Kim was 22, he picked up a bartending job. He wasn’t looking to get into the industry, or even make it a long-term thing. He just needed a little cash to help pay for his next semester of college.
But then something happened.
He fell in love with making “drinkable art.”
“I’ve always loved art and creative things,” he says, but “Life for me was very up and down.” He’d gotten into trouble as a kid, and had spent some time in juvenile detention centers and boarding schools. Now, looking back, “I’m very grateful for those experiences,” he says. Back then, though, it put him in a tough place, and he never found an outlet for all that creativity.
