Hey, I'm Leah Kim!

about me

I'm a fourth-year student at the University of Waterloo, majoring in BSc Psychology. I have been interested in UI/UX design since Grade 10 and have become accustomed to using different design softwares, such as Figma, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe XD. I have also been brushing up on my computer science knowledge by taking Harvard's CS50x courses. This personal website is the first project I have ever published online and I hope you enjoy scrolling through it!

University of Waterloo

(Expected Graduation 2025)

I was initially in Systems Design Engineering, a unique design-oriented engineering program at the University of Waterloo, with the hopes to achieve a designer-like mindset. After first-year, I realized that no SYDE-specific course interested me anymore and the only course that I genuinely had fun taking was my PSYCH 101 elective. Currently, I am majoring in Psychology to learn more about how one processes information and makes decisions based on it.

University of Toronto Schools

(2014 - 2020)

Throughout high school, I was interested in various areas of STEM, including math, physics, and computer science. I was also very active in the school's music department, being a section leader for strings ensembles and the senior orchestra. I have also co-produced multiple music events and won a music scholarship.
