Harold Kim

I'm a digital product designer based in New York.

I designed the first iPhone and Android apps for Venmo, then spent 6 formative years working on Google Maps and Google Drive.

These days, I work with small to mid-size companies as an all-in-one design partner. I design and develop products, websites, visual identities, and collateral for marketing campaigns.

Edia Learning

2020 – Present
Founding designer

Edia started as a homework app for high school math students, but has since grown into a full suite of tools for assessments, remedial programs, and district-level analytics for superintendents.

As the only designer, I pitch in everywhere. I support our sales team with marketing materials and presentations, our content teams with style guides to unify our math problems, and build both our student and district products.

Design & development

AIRS Medical develops industry-leading software that reduces MRI scan times by up to 85%. However, they aren't well known outside of Korea. Their US-based sales team asked me to develop a new website to complement their expansion into the US.

I expanded the design system built by their Korean team, adapted it to the US market, and used it to deliver a new website, digital ads for LinkedIn, and a print brochure.

Citizen Protect

2018 – 2020
Design lead

I was the design lead for Citizen Protect. This was the company's first paid service, and I worked with 1 PM and 3 Engineers to build the product from scratch.

We created several prototypes, put them through multiple rounds of testing, and built a go-to-market strategy. To date, Protect has saved people from heart attacks, dispatched roadside assistance to users stranded in the desert, and located missing family members.

2024
Over 10 weeks, I developed a visual system and brand for a dog museum. This included a creative brief, logo, color palette, typography, print layouts, and visual mockups. This was a student project for a branding class at the School of Visual Arts with Anita Zeppetelli.
Google Maps

2016 - 2018
Design lead

The Google Maps research team led a large effort focused on commutes, spending months speaking to users in Mumbai, Seattle, Sydney, Zurich, and Tokyo.

I worked closely with the research and product management teams to turn their findings into features for everyday commutes, such as sending alerts for commute disruptions and suggesting alternate routes.
