Work Experience
Helping make Loom available on the go: I design the Loom iOS and Android apps.
At MetaLab, I helped design web and mobile products for technology companies little & big. Working on projects which were typically around 3 months in length, I collaborated with other product designers, researchers, and engineers to create accessible, cohesive, and beautiful user experiences.
Independent designer working on UX, visual, and identity for digital products with small and large tech companies in London and remotely.
I finished my time at Mint Digital working out of their New York office. From November 2015 to September 2016 I took some time out to see (and cycle) the world and refocus, eventually riding over 7000 miles through Korea and Japan, and across the United States. I documented the journey here, writing for everyday I rode: blog.walker.kim/category/cycle…
Mint Digital was a special place where I learned a huge amount about user centred design, collaboration with engineers, and about the role of design in business in general.
In my role I worked closely with other interaction designers, creative strategists, and developers creating delightful and useful products. I worked across both large client projects (Tesco, Channel 4, Goldman Sachs, Universal), small startups, and Mint's own array of internal ventures and products.
Alongside longer term client engagements I partook in a number of ‘Four Days to Launch’ - design jams in which we designed and shipped something within a week.
My design process developed significantly during my time at Mint and the sense of collaboration and experimentation is something i’ll always be looking to find in future roles.
Lead designer in a busy digital team creating engaging, usable designs for clients with a focus on the premium fashion and lifestyle sector. I was responsible for the look and feel of the majority of the company’s visual design, UX, and I assisted with creative and strategic concepts.
As junior designer, I took care of web, print design and layout for a broad range of clients at this digital agency, including artworking, retouching, and flash animation.
