Between Korea and New York, industrial and graphic design, Chopin’s delicate piano melodies and Yaeji’s electronic beats, I’m drawn to the connections between different worlds. I bring that perspective into brand identities, combining distinct influences into a cohesive visual language.
I’m Lia Kim, a New York-based brand designer whose work includes projects for Samsung, Nike, and ABB. My work has been recognized with 1st Place at the AI Master Award and an A’ Design Award.
