Kim has been designing and handcrafting jewelry for over 15 years. In that time she has taken what started out as a hobby and turned it into an award-winning line of one-of-a-kind and limited edition jewelry and accessories. Kim’s design style is a fusion of ethnic and contemporary elements – resulting in “ethno-chic” works of art. Inspired by geometric shapes, music, and all things cultural, she creates pieces that have a distinct identity and enhance a woman’s individual style.

Kim's designs have been sold in exclusive boutiques throughout the DC Metropolitan area as well as fashion shopping events around the country. They have been showcased in The Will to Adorn ‘Rock the Runway’ fashion show at the Smithsonian’s Folk Life Festival, a promotional campaign for internationally-renowned singing group Sweet Honey in the Rock, and at dcFashionWeek®. And seen in the pages of The Baltimore Sun, Black Elegance magazine, and Consciousness magazine.

Awards and honors include winning Best Indie Women’s Accessory (Jewelry) at the Indie Fashion Awards in New York, and being nominated for the Fashion Group International’s 8th Annual Rising Star Awards – Accessories.

This self-taught designer is also an avid supporter of the arts and strong believer in giving back to the community. She has taught several jewelry-making, art, and entrepreneurial workshops to children at summer camps and Saturday art programs. She is a past president of the D.C. Chapter of The National Association of Fashion & Accessory Designers.
