About
Hey there! I'm Kim, a UX/Product Designer with an addiction to creating elegant, user-centric solutions to complicated problems or antiquated processes. With superpowers in design and extensive experience in running and building competitive businesses, let's create products that'll make your company shine (and have your competition shaking in their boots).
Experience
My background is in design and business strategy/operations ranging from my roles as a fashion designer to founding and running a technology startup (serving as the product lead). I am a business strategist with a talent for execution and a skill for innovating outdated and inefficient modalities.
I started my career off in apparel as a designer who led the creative direction and launched brands for various companies such as Karl Lagerfeld Paris. What made me successful as a designer was not only understanding my customer, their wants/preferences and the brands’ competition, but also increasing the margins and profitability of the companies which employed me.
After experiencing first hand the systemic issues in the apparel industry with waste, capital inefficiencies and lack of technology, I founded my own venture backed startup in apparel technology for on-demand manufacturing and customization to combat these issues.
As a UX or Product Designer, I continue to create simple, intuitive solutions to address customer needs as well as innovative and profitable solutions from ideation through delivery and beyond.
