Statement

Hi, my name is Michelle Kim. I grew up playing sports, video games, board games, you name it. I have always loved how games create a community and a sense of fun. It was through video games that I discovered the imaginative world of illustration but, thankfully, found product design, where conceptualization and creativity is endless.

Through in-depth research and analysis, I’m driven to find the middle ground between functionality and aesthetics. I love taking my rendering of a 2D concept to a 3D framework by using platforms such as Maya, Z-Brush, and Solidworks. Bringing my design work to life through 3D allows me to work with a team, solve problems and create the most innovative design solutions.
