Before studying Cultural Anthropology at Utrecht University (BSc), and Radboud University (MSc) Kim worked as a graphic designer in the fashion industry. Throughout her studies, she naturally combined creativity with research, always looking for ways to make complex ideas more engaging and accessible.

During her anthropological fieldwork in Guatemala, she used visual communication to develop awareness materials on social local issues for Indigenous women. Later, during her research in Ghana, she witnessed the environmental impact of global textile waste in Accra. There, she used her design skills to communicate research findings through social media, connecting local initiatives, NGOs and wider audiences.

After completing her master's degree, Kim joined an impact consultancy in Amsterdam, where she worked on international evaluations and research projects. She quickly realised that organisations collect an incredible amount of valuable knowledge, yet the people who need that information most often struggle to access it as reports were lengthy and highly technical. She used her graphic skills to create visuals of the content for different stakeholders.

Today, Kim combines an anthropological perspective with strategic communication and visual design to transform complexity into clarity. Speaking four languages and working across cultures, she believes that effective communication isn't about simplifying the truth: it's about translating it for the right audience.
