About me

I'm Kiry Kim, a New York–based visual designer and art director focused on lifestyle branding: cafés, wellness, home, and food and beverage brands that feel natural, unhurried, and a little moody.

I studied graphic design at RISD and sharpened my thinking in advertising. My campaign work for brands like Michelob Ultra and The North Face, created through Openlearn Academy, has earned Gold at the Clio Awards and New York Festivals, along with recognition at the ANDY Awards.

Today I direct photo, video, and brand work at Tenth Creation, and I also work in restaurant management in New York. That taught me a brand doesn't live on a moodboard. It lives at the counter, on the menu, and in how a space makes people feel.
