Lorraine Kim

Product Designer · Buy-Side Systems & Financial Workflows

I spent my career inside buy-side operations —
asset management, alternatives, and the order management system the industry runs on. Now I design the tools I spent it working around.

I am a product designer with a background in finance.


I spent years in institutional finance, working on the trading desk, supporting operations and risk

management. I wanted to move into something more creative without throwing out what I already knew how

to do.


I am also an artist. I work across different mediums, mostly about family, culture, and history. OOJOO Studios

came out of that — art archival work, exhibitions and art books and catalogues. I am expanding it to work

with artists whose stories are like mine, from the Korean diaspora and elsewhere, and to amplify them.
