Born in Seoul in 1980, studied at Hongik University, worked at Ahn Graphics Ltd. Constantly seeking out for aesthetically pleasing designs, he moved to London and started focusing on interaction and social engagement design. Kim is currently studying under Platform 13 at Design Products, Royal College of Art.

Platform 13 starts from the premise that our current global society, with its prevailing techno-political system, faces challenges of an unprecedented scale.

We are asking ourselves how Design can contribute to alternative models of living and production by engaging with, commenting on, and addressing issues currently beyond the usual scope of design - political, social, technological or ecological. We are exploring the potential of creating tangible objects or interventions which impact at a social or behavioural level, by engaging with new methods of production and dissemination.
