just another human, figuring shit out
Hi. Bonjour. Ciao. Hoi. Sup...
I’m Andrew Jang.
Tech Entrepreneur. Fashion Designer. Suicide Survivor. Mental Health Advocate. Nerd. Gym Rat. Dog Lover and Junk Food enthusiast. I have two missions in life. One, find my forever home. Two. Connect more people, to more people the old fashioned way; by talking. Born in Korea. Raised in the US. Living my 100th life in Europe.
Who I Am
I am either an inspiration story. A failure story. Or, a story still in progress. According to good people who get to know me, I am a good man too. Kind, hard working and honest. According to brands like the Wall Street Journal and NFL Players Association, I was once a criminal and fugitive during the same time that the New York Post, Bloomberg and WWD said I was one of the best at what I did.
Regardless. Who I am is someone that achieved great things against all odds and survived the hardest of public falls, multiple times, against even worse odds.
I am a survivor. A fighter. And somewhere built within the lore of my story is who I truly am. What I know is that my whole life, I have had to answer to circumstance or people telling me who I am and maybe that has been my problem all along.
What I do
For work, I am focused on technology, fashion and the bridge to human connection. I am working with a global partner to connect more people to more people and the resources they need, utilizing my technology and fashion background. And yes, I am making fancy clothes for fun people once again with a mission to dress more people then any small designer while making clothes for cultures and people I never could have while in the US. Read more about my past work from tech, to 3D manufacturing and fashion.
Socially, I am continuing to build my community online. Under the handle @sevenofandrew for Tiktok, I produce content based around identity, mental health and starting over. With 1 million views per month on average, with a 20% engagement rate, I have a global presence with three quarters of my audience in Europe, Asia and Australia with the rest in the US. For Instagram, I produce curated content around my daily life.
For Philanthropy, I have always given back and in the last 25 years I have helped thousands of underserved youth through fundraising and spearheading creative initiatives. In the same time, I have served women of abuse, the homeless and dogs, and will continue to bring my creative energy to the people of Europe as I show them that not all Americans are selfish, loud and uncaring. Well, maybe not the loud part. Visit my Giving Back tab for more of my charity work.
In my spare time, I am writing my first book on Substack, attempting to build my first paid subscriber community on Patreon so I can travel around Europe documenting a single theme "connection."All while I manage my own online editorial brand called The Claude Report, where I set the record straight on my life, while making friends, eating junk food and smiling my way into this new version of my life.

Me and Seven (my pup)
Seven and I share a special bond. We're both orphans and both adopted. She was listed as high risk and I reality, the way the media came after me, so was I. Yet. In all of the madness of my life, in all of the confusion and moments where everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Somehow we found each other. And I would only fully understand just how important the timing of it all really was after we battled our way through France, so that we could stay in Europe.
In the 5 years we have been together. We have moved 6 times, lived in four different homes, two different countries and traveled in an RV for a little while. We stayed in a few budget motels and were homeless for a year as we crashed with strangers across Europe; and even saw the Eiffel Tower together. Through every up, Seven made me smile. Through every down. Seven made me stay. And in return, I do everything I can to give her the best life possible....and one day, her and I will finally find our forever home, where we will never have to move from again.
From France with Love
If you want to read a crazy, but heartwarming story, then you need to read about how I was chased across France by my ex business partner, my ex friends who betrayed me to him and the woman I saved in the RV accident. Their goal was to get me arrested and sent back to the US so that my ex business partner could continue to harass and terrorize my life. For a while, they were winning but somehow I beat them and all of their efforts. TBH, I still don't know how, but I do know that I only survived because of strangers from TikTok and some amazing French people, including two women I call my French Grandmas, who took me and Seven in, no questions asked. With their kindness, generosity, safety and amazing cooking, I not only found the strength to keep going, but overcame every obstacle to become a resident and visa holder in Europe. I am not kidding you when I tell you this story is crazy, but what's more important, is the people who helped were more then all of the crazy combined. And I owe them everything and will start with this. THANK YOU.
