Giah Kim

UX Designer/Researcher, Prototyper, Media Artist

Hello!

I'm a transdisciplinary designer residing in LA and flew from South Korea. My practice encompasses roles as a UX designer/researcher, prototyper, and media artist, allowing me to explore the intersection of art, design, and technology.

Rather than viewing media and technology as mere tools, my work delves into the essence of these objects, challenging conventional notions of aliveness. I aim to transform everyday experiences into sensory delights, inviting users to reconsider their relationship with the world and technology around them.

Drawing from my Master of Media Design Practice from ArtCenter and a background in fine art, my practice is deeply rooted in extensive research and critical strategy. I am committed to addressing the pressing contemporary challenges and envisioning a narrative and framework for the future.
