About






The legend himself, standing next to Russell Oliver.

Apologies if you came here looking for Kim Kardashian’s lingerie, SKIMS. As you can see, this is not a place where you can buy her underwear. Or any underwear for that matter.

Hi, I’m Steven Kim.
Creative and Art Director, based in Toronto.


My life in advertising began when I was awarded the Maclaren McCann (which you might know now as just McCann) tuition scholarship from the Ontario College of Art (which you might know now as OCADU). As a fledgling I learned two valuable lessons. For one, Pad Thai from craft services can be amazing. And two, the only way to great work is through a great work ethic.

Since then my work ethic combined with my love for late night Pad Thai have guided me to generate a string of award-winning work.

My work experience includes Ambrose Carr Linton Carroll, where I spent the first eight years of my career, network agencies like McCann, BBDO and Dentsu, as well as independent gems like Giants & Gentlemen and 123w.

I’m also an award-winning photographer. To see my portfolio, 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 a hockey rink.
