Emily H. Kim is a designer and recent graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Design (MLA I, ‘25). Before that, she spent seven years in Brooklyn, NY working as a senior designer, studio manager, systems consultatnt, and a baker.
Her work sits at the intersection of landscape, memory, and infrastructure, with a focus on post-industrial and militarized terrains. She’s particularly interested in how these landscapes mediate questions of occupation, representation, and ecological repair. Her recent research traces WWII airfields built across the Pacific, examining their creation and continued maintenance as part of a broader landscape typology that frames islands as both paradise and wasteland.
She is currently open to opportunities and collaborations. Outside of work, you’ll find her in a library or archive, behind a camera, or experimenting in a kitchen.
