Hey there! I'm Sophia Kim, with over 15 years of experience in the design field. I'm thrilled to share a bit about myself and my journey in design.

Originally from South Korea, I've loved drawing since I was a kid. That passion led me to study design. I started my career at a magazine company, where I learned a lot about typography and layouts.

Later, I worked at a User Interface design agency focusing on mobile devices, where some of our projects were showcased at CES (Consumer Electronics Show), a prestigious event in the tech industry. There, I had the opportunity to design interfaces not only for mobile devices but also for home appliances, navigation systems, car dashboards, and more. In 2011, I moved to Canada and joined a branding and marketing agency. There, I designed websites, ads, and animations, learning a ton about how design and business go hand in hand.

After that, I spent five years at ThoughtFarmer, a company that makes software for businesses. As a product designer on the product team, I played a key role in building intranet software, which is like a private internet for companies to share information and collaborate. It was a rewarding experience where I honed my skills in user interface and experience design.

Previously, I worked at Operto, a startup dedicated to simplifying the management of vacation rentals and hotels. During my time there, I contributed to designing solutions aimed at automating tasks and enhancing guest experiences, streamlining operations for property owners and managers alike.

Now I'm excited to have an opportunity to apply my design expertise to innovate for my next chapter.
