Based in New York, NY

Just as my playlist seamlessly transitions from Chopin to the electronic beats of Yaeji, my design philosophy thrives on the harmony of opposing forces.

Lia Kim is a New York-based Brand Designer who translates this duality into sophisticated visual systems. Currently at U.N.N.A.M.E.D., she crafts compelling brand narratives for global giants like Samsung, Nike, and ABB. By balancing structured logic with experimental aesthetics, she delivers design solutions that are as strategically grounded as they are visually explosive.

Honored with 1st Place at the AI Master Award and the A' Design Award, Lia proves that true aesthetic impact emerges when contrasting worlds beautifully collide.
