Kristian Kim

Hi, I'm Kristian Kim. I design products that work and feel good.

Right now I lead design at JPMorgan Chase, working with a team on tools that help businesses manage money at scale. The problems are complex — the goal is to make them feel less so.

My job is mostly drawing rectangles and adding text — by keyboard, mouse, or prompt, depending on the day. Outside that, I follow curiosity wherever it goes: AI, photography, video, whatever’s interesting enough to pull me in. At home, I’m a husband and a dad to three amazing (and genuinely chaotic) kids. The rare quiet moment? I’m either holding my PS controller (currently playing this game and this game), or reading something on my this e-reader.
