I partnered with the creative director and fellow designers to turn client needs into responsive websites, mobile apps, and digital payment experiences. Clients included Amazon, Schneider, Pfizer, and the American College of Surgeons.
Hi, I’m Kristian Kim. I design digital products and I take design very seriously.
I lead design at JPMorgan Chase, working with a team on tools that help businesses manage money at scale. The problems are complex — the goal is to make them feel less so.
I also built and run Sparkquest and Fndra, taking both from early sketches to live apps. Outside of design, I follow curiosity into photography, video, and whatever else pulls me in. At home, I’m a husband and a dad to three amazing (and genuinely chaotic) kids.
A career in chapters
JPMorgan Chase
I lead a team of product designers shaping commercial banking for businesses from startups to global enterprises. We design cash management experiences that help companies understand cash flow, optimize working capital, and extend their runway, supported by scalable patterns and a coherent end-to-end experience.
