Carolyn Kim is a Korean American multidisciplinary graphic designer based in the SF Bay Area who focuses on building memorable experiences no matter the medium, from branding to visual interfaces.
Previously, she worked with brand & marketing agency Nesscessity as a Art Direction/Graphic Design Intern and Freelance Designer, designing social media content for their brand clients. Since 2023, she has been working with Children’s Creativity Museum as a graphic designer for about a year in total through contracts, working on an experience refresh, a new wayfinding system, and marketing collateral for educational and event experiences.
Cultivating artistic abilities since childhood and expanding to graphic design and UX/UI, she enjoys all things creative and she has developed a keen attention to detail while also being able to maintain a holistic view of the overall system. No matter where, you can probably spot her indulging in boba or matcha as a barista, capturing moments through photos as she explores the world, or learning electric guitar.
Currently as a GenAI Annotations Visual Arts Specialist at Meta, I work on improving the visual quality of Meta AI generative image and video models, like EMU, through art direction and data analysis.
I graduated from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco with a BFA Graphic Design, exploring how to be creative using various means for diverse contexts. Growing up creating art since childhood, my joy of using mixed media has naturally reflected throughout my creative journey. Experimented with projects across branding, packaging, exhibitions, UX/UI, 3d metaverse game experience, and more. Developing a versatile skillset has allowed me to have a more curious mind open to learn and adapt to any situation with what's needed in any given context. Working on 3-5 projects simultaneously, I learned to lead projects and communicate ideas and critique, whether working independently or collaborating with my peers who are graphic designers, UX designers, 3D designers, illustrators.
