Hello, I’m Lily Kim. I’m a visual designer based in Los Angeles, California. My designs illustrate narratives through interactive multimedia and creative research. I tell stories through virtual reality, graphic design, illustration, video, augmented reality, and 3D models.
I have just graduated from UCLA with BA in Design Media Arts. My undergraduate curriculum features a solid foundation in typography, graphic design, branding, digital fabrication/ printing, photography/video, video games, and 3D modeling, virtual/augmented reality, art +science, social and environmental practice, public arts, and media archeology and theory, creative coding, interaction, electronics, and interface design. This uniquely challenging and diverse program has taught me to balance aesthetic sensibility with logical reasoning, formal theories with practical application, and contemporary thought with historical perspective.
During my time at UCLA I have won the Miss Korea USA 2018 award. I also went to study abroad at Yonsei University, South Korea, in the fall of 2018 and The Hong Kong University (HKU) in Spring 2019. I studied business and arts at both Yonsei and HKU to further my knowledge as an Asian Artist.
I also write about cool ideas/ projects. Check it out below 👇
