About
Hi there. I’m Kim! I’m a Senior Designer with roots in education, community organizing, non-profit management and public art.
I love messy projects with multiple perspectives, helping to streamline many visions into one neatly wrapped, beautifully designed package that everyone can be proud of. Whether it’s using infographic visualization to make critical data more accessible to a community, facilitating brand and marketing strategy to support a small business, designing for a museum exhibition, or painting a mural with a group of young people; I am committed to leveraging collaborative processes that make room for everyone to share their wisdom and illuminate initiatives that create meaningful impact.
Past clients and partners include Baltimore Orioles, Baltimore Office Promotion & the Arts, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, DTLR, Maryland Center for History & Culture, Maryland WIC, NAACP, Nike, Sagamore Spirit and Transportation Association of Maryland. I’ve served as Board President of Bmore Empowered (2021-2024) and Education Director of AIGA Baltimore (2018-2020). I am a 2017 Open Society Institute (OSI) alum and a 2020 Young Cultural Innovator (YCI) Fellow of the Salzburg Global Forum. I hold an MFA in Community Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).
Currently, I’m a licensed foster parent with Kennedy Krieger and in my free time you can find me cooking your favorite dish for a themed potluck, watching reality television for "research" and hanging out with my cat Denzel.
