About






Despite what my haircut might have you believe, I do care about craft.

If you’re here looking for the creative director of SKIMS underwear, my apologies.

I’m Steven Kim, Creative and Art Director.


My career started with a scholarship and summer internship at McCann, where I learned two things. First, the only path to quality is through quantity. And two, the only way to quantity is through humility. My work experience includes ACLC, where I spent my humble beginnings crafting QSR tray liners, car brochures, newspaper campaigns and sometimes even TV spots; network agencies like BBDO and Dentsu where I learned the art of doing whatever it takes; as well as independent gems like Giants & Gentlemen and 123w where I continued to elevate my thinking and creative output.

I’ve won numerous awards along the way, mostly as a creative but also as a photographer. To see my photos go to skimphoto.com

When not working, I’m usually still working. But when I’m not doing that, I’m probably driving my son to hockey.
