About Me
Hey 👋 I’m Kim, a multidisciplinary product builder making digital tools more accessible, comprehensible, and impactful. Currently leading product design at Timely Schools.
In my spare time, I read as much as possible, bike around St. Louis, work on my latest creative project, volunteer with Rung for Women, and eat way too many tacos.
