Kim is a Korean-American founder, creative director, and former Division I athlete whose work explores identity, heritage, and becoming.

What began as a venture in adornment evolved into something much larger. Through building THE KULTURE, Kim's work became an ongoing exploration of the objects, stories, and rituals that shape how people understand themselves and move through the world.

Inspired by her Korean heritage, faith, and life in New York City, she approaches design as both cultural expression and personal transformation.

Today, THE KULTURE serves as both a creative practice and a living archive—one that continues to shape her work as much as she shapes it.
