Nayeon Kim

I'm a product designer based in San Francisco, currently shaping the future of creative work at Patreon. Over the years, my work has spanned early strategy, consumer UX, and even shipping code — but at the core, I'm driven by a curiosity for how we can create more clarity, value, and meaning through design.

I believe technology should serve people, not vice versa. My design approach is grounded in care for intentionality, balancing ambition with care and human-centric thinking.

Outside of work, I bounce between tinkering with new digital tools and creating intentional space away from my laptop to stay grounded. Currently, that involves gouache painting, cooking, and throwing pottery.
