About this blog

My name is Joon Kim. Welcome to my blog!

My long-form version of who I am is that I spent my childhood in Palo Alto, I came of age in Seoul, and I went to school at Amherst. I graduated in 2018, returned to the SF Bay Area for the first time in eight years, and have lived here ever since. I am home in both Seoul & San Francisco.

You can find me via Twitter or LinkedIn.

I am many things, and want to do many things. I believe that a well-documented life is a good life, and so this blog is a collection of my writing and photography.

Some random facts:

• I used an Olympus camera for almost ten years, but I recently switched to Canon and hope to devote more time to photography & cinematography.
• I run without headphones (some call it "raw-dogging") and have run 3 marathons thus far.
• I understand why other people chase work-life balance, but I enjoy taking my work seriously and create artifacts that are a source of pride.
