Hanbi Kim

I have two years of experience working as a shoe designer in Korea.

I graduated from the Department of Decorazione in Accademia di belle arti di Brera, Milan, Italy in 2023.

I have 2 years experience working in DAMY in South Korea as a footwear designer. As a newly started footwear designer, I learned a lot with fun and passion. I mainly designed shoes for department stores and home shopping, and learned about the process of making actual shoes by visiting the field.

After learning the basics of being a shoe designer, I ended up working as a manager at the main factory of Suecomma Bonnie, Korea's most influential shoe brand. I did all the work for the shoe factory.The reason I got a job as a manager at a shoe factory was because I wanted to know shoes in more detail and I wanted to work for a large shoe company, so it was a position that satisfied both requirements.

I decided to study abroad in Italy, which I had dreamed of for a long time, and came to Italy, the country of handmade shoes. Here, I majored in art, which I thought I had talent for, but I also studied art with a focus on shoes and fashion.
