I’m Kim.
Thanks for staying curious
I’m a 🧀 Milwaukee based designer, yes Mill-wuh-key, having recently located from Austin, Texas where I started my interactive design career working on consumer experiences for both small startups and big-tech.
I’m passionate about designing for mission driven products and services that echo my values and solve for the most complex needs of good 🖤’d humans. I have extensive experience collaborating with cross-functional product, tech, operational and clinical leaders from discovery to launch, designing for such industries as home health care, pharmaceutical, travel, insurance & e-commerce.
In my spare time my passions are back-country camping, spending time with kids & shooting photos on my Fuji jlkFJAKF. I have a knack for cooking on whim and never follow recipes & often dream of living off-grid.
Where I shine
✴ Connecting the dots & obsessing about the system as whole
✴ Designing for complex multi-sided marketplaces, BSB SaaS tooling
✴ Documentation, diagrams & visual articulation of complex systems
✴ Designing experiences that enhance service delivery
✴ Process refinement & design operations
✴ Engaging story telling
✴ Mentorship & team leadership
Design leadership
Over the course of my career, I’ve naturally evolved my leadership abilities, focusing on fostering a culture of growth, passion, collaboration, and humility within the UX team and across the organization. I achieve this by:
Setting the stage: Crafting collaborative design strategies that inspire, guide, and clarify how individual and collective efforts drive long-term impact.
Clarifying Ambiguity: Guiding teams through ambiguous problems to identify and address root causes across systems.
Growth Placement: Aligning designers with business-critical work that matches their goals and challenges their skills.
Effective Communication: Promoting strong storytelling and proactive communication of ideas, progress, and strategy across the organization.
Process Optimization: Refining processes, time management, and design systems for quality output and a positive culture.
Humility: Fostering a welcoming and safe culture through kindness, empathy, and humor.
