info

Kim is an illustrator, painter, and surface designer. Her work can be found through illustrations, packaging, clothing, magazines, and murals around the world.

Her work is greatly influenced by the places in the world she finds herself, often inspired by pops of color, cute dogs, delicious food, and the local natural landscape. No matter the project, her main focus is to spread joy, and to create a colorful, silly, and harmonious version of the world she wishes to live in.

Kim has spent extended periods in New York City and Hawai’i, and currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with her husband Bryce and one-year-old, Maxwell. In October 2024, she was diagnosed with stage 4 triple negative breast cancer, and is currently kicking cancer’s ass while continuing to make art.
