Hello!

It’s so lovely to have you here.

I’m Songyi Kim, an illustrator and storyteller from South Korea, now based in Berlin.

I’ve always been fascinated by imaginary worlds. As a child, I spent hours daydreaming about characters and adventures that felt as real as life itself. Drawing became my way to capture those stories — to see them come alive before my eyes.

I studied Fine Art and Media Design to learn the language of visual storytelling, which led me to work as a concept artist in the game industry, and later as a comic artist. Over the years, I realized what I love most is creating stories that connect with people — especially through the wonder and honesty of childhood imagination.

Now, I’m following that passion as a children’s book illustrator.

This new chapter feels both exciting and a little scary, but it’s exactly the kind of adventure my younger, daydreaming self would have dreamed of.
