Hey there, I’m Kim!
I have an obsession with crafting intentional experiences with pixels, creating simple solutions to complex problems, and incorporating accessible design practices.
My experience is focused on in designing for experiences that surface actionable insights for data rich software, typically serving high-skilled users.
My portfolio is undergoing iterative updates, so please excuse the mess!
There may be some oddities depending on what day and time you happen to be lurking.
