hi,

My name is Elizabeth Kim and I am a designer passionate about exploring the importance of design in the product life cycle and its role in creating both a meaningful and relevant experience for the end-user.

Art & Design. The two terms are often used interchangeably but to me, mean very different things. From a young age, I've been drawn to visual expression and driven by creativity. I later realized that I could transform these skills to go beyond a form of self-expression; This led me to pursue UX Design - a field in which I could utilize my own talents to design meaningful, relevant, and impactful experiences for others.

My ultimate goal is to be able to further explore these passions in a mission to leave a lasting, positive imprint on the world.

In my free time I like to...
Indulge on cinnamon rolls
Explore the best food spots
Play with my dog
Some cool experiences I've had...
