Daigen (大元) is my Japanese name and means:
Great Beginnings

Shouldn’t all experiences be the start of something great?

Hello, I’m Ben Kim

I help companies navigate their design transformations through proven strategies while building teams that are up to the challenge.

Over the past 25 years I have excelled in various UX leadership roles such as a Lead UX Designer, UX Manager, and Director of UX. Throughout those positions I have consistently advocated for the development of intuitive and engaging user experiences. These efforts have been grounded in thorough user research and continuous improvement that are based on Lean UX and a flexible Design Thinking process.
