After graduating with a BFA in Communications, she moved to New York City to work in music publishing at companies such as the Harry Fox Agency and MTV Networks. While at MTV she became interested in the creative side of the industry. She left music to work as a producer, managing content creation for a digital signage start-up, before going back to school to study graphic design at Parsons, The New School.

After graduating from Parsons, as a digital designer at Weber Shandwick, she designed 360-degree media campaigns for Unilever USA. She also designed editorial websites for large brands such as Aetna and Excedrin. She has worked as an in-house designer on marketing teams for The Jewish Museum, a fine art museum on Museum Mile, and Mondo, a tech and digital recruitment agency. She currently works as a freelance designer for small businesses and non-profits such as The Clinton Foundation and Healthier Generation.

Before joining the SOJC faculty, Kym taught graphic design for three years, first in New York City, and then in London. While in London she managed a full-time design program, training instructors, mitigating student experience, teaching, and graduating 100+ students a year with professional design portfolios.

She loves teaching the design process and believes that all students can be successful creatives with the right tools, research, and inspiration.
