Bio
Christine Pasetes
Over the 4 years we worked together, Kwantae was a fantastic and inspiring collaborator. Our Marketing Design System was in need of a strong design perspective, especially as our company's web presence grew. Kwantae took the lead by creating components and driving improvements, spearheading user testing to gather valuable data, and helping to manage our complex design system (all while furthering his learning in UX!). He also showed his leadership and people skills by successfully communicating the value of the design system to non-designers, and working to bridge the gaps between designers, Web, and Engineering in thoughtful ways. "We're missing a Kwantae" is something I hear often — he truly is an asset to any team, and I'd love to work with him again!

Look up the definition of team player and you might find Kwantae Kim’s photo! He is always willing to gracefully step up or step in to help his team, and does so with a refreshingly positive attitude and demeanor. Kwantae’s curiosity and commitment to learning is impressive. He recently completed two advance UX courses on his own time and then held numerous trainings with others on the design team to share his learnings. His ability to distill complex concepts and teach others in a meaningful way is impressive, and it’s made him a strong mentor. Kwantae radiates accountability, trustworthiness, collaboration and is a genuine pleasure to work with.
