Hello, I am Hando Kim, a designer, animator, and art director with 15+ years of experience in motion graphics across interactive, media, and experiential design. I create motion experiences that connect with audiences through narrative or interactive storytelling, whether on a small phone screen or a massive projection mapping canvas.

Born and raised in Korea, I warped to the sunny side of the US to study graphic design at Art Center College of Design. I started my career as a design intern at Yu&Co and have worked at big and small studios in LA such as Scholar, Roger and Spinifex Group.

Believing in the power of design, I love making things in both the digital and physical worlds with heart, guts, and tough handos ;D

Outside of work, I love cycling and have a passion for drawing and frame-by-frame animation.

You can call me 'Hando', as in Han Solo or Rio Hondo.
