About

Woody Kim.

Product designer and UX strategist working at the intersection of AI, compliance, and government software. I care about making complex systems understandable — and making tools that experts actually want to use.

I run a small design studio, compete in hackathons, and organize Vibecon — a community event for people building AI-native products at creative speed. My background spans civic tech, fintech compliance, and federal digital services.
