Statement

We believe successful design—with purposeful and impactful outcomes—emerges from an equal and collaborative partnership between the designer and their counterparts.

“From Say to See”

"Say" represents the initial stage of any project, where the client articulates their message, goals, and objectives. It involves understanding the client's "say" – their story, their vision, and what they want to communicate to the world. See" represents the final outcome of the design process – the visual representation of the client's message. It's about translating the client's "say" into a compelling and impactful visual experience that the audience can "see" and understand.

Our Approach

Kimhung Design embraces the approach of “From Say to See.”

Every project begins with a careful focus on its core message—how to express the story, perspective, or idea we aim to communicate clearly and effectively.

This message can take many forms, such as a brand identity, a well-designed product, a visual narrative, a crafted publication, a functional signage system, or an engaging space. We focus on finding the best way to communicate the message clearly and effectively, using a range of creative mediums to make a strong impact.

Our process combines research, experimentation, creation, and refinement to produce work that is both visually appealing and meaningful. We believe successful design—with purposeful and impactful outcomes—emerges from an equal and collaborative partnership between the designer and their counterparts. By blending the designer’s creative vision with the insights and experience of those we work with, we achieve truly transformative results.

At KHD, our strength is not confined to any single design discipline but lies in our ability to use design as a catalyst for positive change. We believe design has the power to drive progress and improve the world around us.

About Kimhung

Kimhung began his design career in 2000 as a graphic designer, co-founding C Plus C Workshop in 2005 and later establishing Kimhung Design (KHD) in 2020.

Guided by the question "What is the true value of design?", he has spent years exploring and experimenting to refine his craft. Through dedication and experience, he discovered that design is a powerful tool for turning ideas into meaningful outcomes. He believes that great design doesn’t follow rigid rules but emerges from a dynamic interplay of research and creativity.

Kimhung’s work has earned international recognition, including awards from D&AD, the New York Art Directors Club, and the Tokyo Type Directors Club. His designs are featured in museum collections in Poland and Finland. Beyond his creative work, Kimhung actively supports the design community through leading workshops and curatorial projects.
