Kim is an Associate Creative Director and Designer in Southern California

Long story short, I like to make things look pretty.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Advertising. I am also a self-taught graphic designer with over thirteen years of experience working in the industry. I started my career as a intern for a local record label, then found the world of print design, made my way into in real estate marketing, into B2B automotive design, and eventually landed in commercial advertising where I worked over seven years on the world’s largest tech brand.

I am currently a Freelance Associate Creative Director. And when I’m not chasing after a new idea, I love spending time with my family, traveling, going on photo adventures, dabbling in calligraphy, and I also have my own concrete planter business, Dusty Mei.

I am always open to new opportunities and would love to chat.
