The story of hairy knees started back in high school when a friend made fun of me for having hairy knees. I hadn't even noticed until then, but the nickname stuck, and soon people called me 'hairy knees' more than my real name. I guess that's what happens when you share your last name with 20 million Kims in the world.

My real name is Ji Kim – I’m an Art Director based in New York. Feel free to email or stalk me on InstagramLinkedin.
