Who I Am
As an experienced design leader, I specialize in UX and product design, with a deep passion for user research, data-informed decision-making, and human-centered innovation. My work is grounded in customer empathy, ethical AI application, and a commitment to design principles that deliver meaningful, measurable outcomes.
I’ve built and scaled UX research teams from the ground up, establishing efficient processes that integrate seamlessly across the product development lifecycle. I advocate for a mixed-methods research approach—combining qualitative depth with quantitative scale—to generate timely insights that inform design, guide product strategy, and support business goals. I work collaboratively with cross-functional partners in product and engineering, ensuring that Lean UX practices are implemented effectively and that design decisions are rooted in real user needs.
In my leadership style, I prioritize inclusivity and diverse perspectives. I foster an environment where team members feel valued, respected, and empowered to grow—encouraging open dialogue, continuous learning, and shared ownership. This culture of trust and collaboration leads to more innovative thinking and resilient teams.
Ultimately, I’m driven by the belief that exceptional user experiences emerge from the intersection of thoughtful research, inclusive culture, and ethical innovation. By championing these principles, I strive to deliver solutions that truly resonate with users and drive long-term success for both people and product.

Vice President of Strategy
Senior Engineering Manager
“Kim was wonderful to work with. She participated in many presentation test sessions and provided valuable feedback, not only to the graphics, but to what she took away from the content. I was set on a stick-figure aesthetic, and Kim showed me different styles of stick figures to get an idea of what I liked. In some cases, I had a more specific idea of what I wanted and provided crude sketches. From these, Kim kept true to the content and created very professional images.”
