Boram Kim
Canada 🇨🇦

Landed in Canada 16 years ago and fell in love with it enough to stay permanently.

Korea

Born and raised in Korea. But I now dream in both Korean and English.

Germany 🇩🇪

Lived in Germany for two years. Came back with a love for fries and mayo.

A designer with a few unexpected side quests.

Piano

Started at 23, and after 5 years of intense practice, I passed RCM Level 9. My fingers refused to pursue Level 10.

Mt. Fuji

Climbed 90% of Mt. Fuji before altitude sickness politely asked me to stop.

Parent

Raising a super cute and super-duper energetic 3-year-old boy.

Teacher

Taught 500+ students, only to realize that they were actually the ones teaching me.

They give me more ways
to see, question, and solve problems.

Creating a Path to Well-Being
in the Social Media Maze

Social media's effect on well-being is tangled and contradictory. Mapped it as causal and actor system maps to find where the system can actually be moved.

eatt (everyone at the table)

Hosts planning group meals were chasing allergy info through scattered texts, and one missed reply could put someone at real risk. Built a way to collect detailed allergy info from every participant and recommend menus that work for the whole group.
