I'm Cedric Kim, a German-Korean artist and designer focused on animation and games. Formerly interested in computer science, I began drawing as a hobby, which helped me develop a passion for storytelling and visual art. In 2025, I got my first opportunity to contribute as an additional artist and software technician at RTE for a short film for Screen Ireland and Dublin International Film Festival.
