I design tech-enabled physical experiences: tangible objects, interactive tables and the spaces around them. From research and concept to high-fidelity prototypes.

About
Designer · Maker
A Kim by birth, like millions of Koreans, but “Kimpan” by Swedish standards.
Trained in industrial design and interface design. I work where screens, objects and rooms meet.
For almost three years at Interactive Scape in Berlin I designed interfaces for large multitouch tables that recognise physical objects, for trade shows, museums and brand spaces. I also designed booths, produced video and rebuilt the company website.
I move easily between Figma, the wood workshop and client workshops. I speak Korean, German, English and Swedish.
