I'm Haeun Kim, a designer, thinker, and an illustrator. 

I am currently based in Estonia working as a multidisciplinary designer after Masters program of Design and Craft at Eesti Kunstiakadeemia, and ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles with a bachelor in science for product design. With various work experiences, what I value the most in design is balancing story, function, and ethic. 

-

I am always in search of subtle nuance of ordinariness, and values that are fading away. As I deeply value emotions and poetic senses, my works are heavily based on sensitivity. My creativity starts from curiosity and care for people or their usual surroundings.

Loving Fernando Pessoa, my life goal is to master Portuguese and read his book in its original version.

Human is human because we have empathy and emotion to share with others. I really think it is enough if my products make somebody smile (which is actually quite hard...)

Products that are effective at this very moment are as important as the products of the future.

FUN is part of FUNction. I follow Charles and Ray Eames on this.

I think that ordinary, common, and repetitive days can be as inspirational as being out of the box. Because then I can find little moments or subtle nuances that feel slightly different.

I do not think that all of the products are made for the sake of convenience or being smart.
