MEET THE ARTIST

Hi, I’m Kim — the creator behind Kiroki Studios.

​

I'm a first-generation American with roots in Nicaragua and Honduras, born and raised in the vibrant heartbeat of New York City. My family's journey toward a better life shaped me deeply, instilling in me a fierce sense of purpose, creativity, and drive.

 

Art has always been a core part of who I am — a language through which I process life, express emotion, and connect with others. My work is rooted in personal experience and fueled by a deep reverence for the creative process — from that first spark of inspiration to the final, thoughtful detail. I don’t just create visuals; I build worlds.

 

Kiroki Studios is the result of a lifelong journey of transformation, curiosity, and growth. My designs are infused with storytelling, shaped by my cultural heritage, and inspired by the many encounters and lessons I’ve collected along the way. One of the most profound influences has been reconnecting with my ancestry and discovering the wisdom of the Maya people — a path that continues to inform how I live and create every day.

 

I’m endlessly inspired by the emotional depth behind art — the ideas, techniques, and intention that bring each piece to life. I believe design should be felt as much as it’s seen, and my hope is that every time you engage with my work, you step into a world that speaks to something real within you.

 

Let’s make something meaningful together.
