Hello, I’m Mina Kim.

I approach design with benevolence and empathy, grounded in understanding human emotions and behaviors.

I strive to highlight often-overlooked details that can significantly enhance people's lives, believing that true innovation lies in recognizing and appreciating subtleties.







Heart of Love and Beloved
Ceramic Dinnerware

Ceramic dinnerware, based on the term paper written during the Philosophy course titled 'Common Ground for Communication,'
aims to facilitate better communication.

Communication is not just chunks of words but rather the sharing of each other's world, stepping into each other's shoes.

Thus,
we need to begin by finding common ground as our starting point.

Shoe Design without using shoe last
Shoe Design


Shoe manufacturing requires a shoe last, as it needs to accommodate each size and each side of the foot.

I challenged the design prototype process and manufacturing process by suggesting making a shoe without a shoe last.

Instead, it would be digitally precisely designed and measured, making the shoe-making process quicker and less wasteful.
