Creating Impactful Digital Products

About Me

Senior Product Designer

Hey 👋 I’m Kim, a multidisciplinary designer focused on creating intuitive, scalable, and impactful digital experiences. Currently at Skillable working on hands-on learning and skill validation.

In my spare time, I read as much as possible, bike around St. Louis, crochet lots of sweaters, volunteer with Rung for Women, and eat way too many tacos.

Whether leading a team or running my own one-woman show, I’ve spearheaded enterprise-level redesigns, created content that converts, and coded beautiful, responsive sites by hand.
