Youngmin Kim
I’m a Product Designer based out of Seattle, WA.
I’m a system thinker who appreciates building a sustainable process, design system, and user-centered design. I currently work at Excelerate America, where I collaborate with engineers and leadership to build and maintain our platform for small business entrepreneurs.
