Digital products end to end — research, flows, systems, shipped screens. A brand-systems background means the product never loses its voice on the way to the UI.

About

DAVID JEONG WOO KIM / PRODUCt DESIGNER / LA · OC
I design things people notice.
Not because they asked — because I can’t help myself. It’s not passion. It’s a compulsion.
02 / BIO
I’m a product designer with a brand-systems background — which means I care equally about whether the flow works and whether anyone remembers it. Apps, websites, brands: it’s all fluff until someone cares. My job is making sure they do.
I’m Korean-American, based between LA and Orange County, and I founded and ran Nara Imagination Studio for two years — a character brand that taught me more about shipping, selling, and iterating than any classroom could.
