Dong Hyun Kim_Designer
My name means 'Golden Light from the East.'


I’m Dong Hyun Kim, a New York–based brand designer working across branding, motion, and UI/UX. I graduated from the School of Visual Arts, where I received the Rhodes Family Award for outstanding achievement. Originally trained in stage and costume design in South Korea, I explored the relationship between space and storytelling, which led me to develop a passion for branding with strong concepts and narratives. Through my experience at NBCUniversal and ELOREA, I create cohesive visual identities and experiences across digital and physical spaces.
