Hi! I'm Kim, and I'm more than
just a nice (inter)face.

I'm an empathetic listener, a creative enthusiast, and a fanciful doodler.

I've always been a curious learner and an empathetic listener.

With a professional background in Graphic Design and User Experience Design, I bring an aesthetically driven and human-centered perspective to every project. As a User Experience & User Interface designer based in LA, I have a great passion for creating digital and tangible experiences that are both seamlessly functional and beautiful.

Throughout my career, one fundamental theme has risen to the top: my eagerness to empathize with users in order to find thoughtful solutions that balance both the needs of the users and the goals of the business.

I am currently taking on full-time work and freelance projects. Let's collaborate together!
