Lessons with Kim are great! She is very passionate about animation and drawing. Her character design works are amazing. Kim helps me to create my first short animation film. Really recommend!

​Perfect! Kim was great at making the session feel comfortable with questions and topics easy to approach. It's clear she is passionate about tailoring each lesson individually for the mentee and making sure she can help them towards whatever goals they have. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to learn more about the arts and hear some insightful feedback!

    Kim is incedible. I'm a storyteller coming into this with a lot of vision... and she knows exactly how to bridge that gap between big idea and the technical craft. After just one session... I feel like I have a real path forward. She is patient but keeps the bar high. If you want an instructor who actually sees your potential and helps you sharpen it... Kim is the one.

She is a thoughtful teacher, provides excellent exercises and is patient and encouraging. She's also very reliable. I highly recommend Kim as a talented animator and tutor.
