Nolan Kim

Nolan Junhee Kim is a New York-based computational designer with a background in biomedical engineering. Much of his early work investigated the correlation between 3D-printed geometries and long-distance running performance. He went on to head many of the computational design projects at Desktop Metal, leveraging his knowledge of parametric structures and access to a wide array of additive manufacturing resources to develop
applications for automotive components, sports products, industrial tools, and interior designs. Now residing in Brooklyn, he has released a design with Zellerfeld, published a course with Lemanoosh, and is taking on collaborative projects with independent designers, 3D-printing companies, and fashion brands. His work is a perpetual pursuit of the forms and structures which reveal themselves along the intersection of research, performance, and design.
