Hi there,
I'm Cecilia Kim! π
I'm a software engineer by trade and product designer by practice. I started my professional career as a UI Design Intern after switching from a pre-med college path last minute. I discovered my passion and love for design through my studio art major.
After a year as a product designer, I pivoted into software engineering at Capital One to learn more about the coding world. I have been lucky to be able to incorporate my love for design in all of my different engineering roles so far. Now, I'm working as a freelance product and brand designers to help people bring their apps and ideas to life.
My background as a product designer and engineer allows me to bridge the gap between engineers and designers as well as open up the world of design to engineers. I have a dedication for clean and intuitive design that brings simplicity and joy for users.
