Estelle Kim
Creative Engineer // CS + CG @ UPenn
Studying Computer Science, Graphics Engineering, and Design through UPenn’s Digital Media Design program, c/o 2027
I build software focused on coherence and craft, where every detail creates an intentional experience. I've led cross-functional project teams & developed interactive experiences for clients.
From full-stack dev to databases, I enjoy picking up new skills on the job. I aspire to work at the edge of technology and human-centered design in a digital agency, creative lab, or design-engineering role.
Thanks for visiting!
