Nayeob Kim

Hi, I'm Nayeob (나엽 / pronounced Nah-yup), a Product Designer based in Vancouver, Canada.

I focus on building scalable design systems and the architecture of complex interfaces. My experience ranges from driving rapid product cycles across diverse industries at MetaLab to navigating the high-integrity technical requirements of Shopify's Checkout.

I thrive in environments where trust and accuracy are the priority. I believe a designer's true value lies in their judgment: the ability to translate ambiguous business needs into clear, reliable systems while maintaining a high bar for craft.

Architecting Trust: The Shopify Checkout Engine

The Shopify Checkout is a globally scalable interface where localized tax disclosures, variable content, and complex legal requirements must coexist within rigorous layout constraints. My work focused on the Order Summary and Payment section, which is the highest-stakes conversion areas in the funnel. My goal was to architect a system where technical precision and "design-to-code" logic ensured that scannability and user trust were never compromised by the complexity of global commerce.

Systems at Scale: The Global Checkout Library

As a designer on the Checkout Design System team, I focused on the enablement and scaling of patterns specifically optimized for the checkout experience. I was responsible for architecting components, such as security inputs and complex interactive states, that balanced visual consistency with the high-integrity requirements of a global checkout engine.

Modernizing the Global E-commerce Experience: Calvin Klein

The engagement at MetaLab focused on overhauling the Calvin Klein digital experience. The objective was to bridge the gap between an iconic minimalist brand and a high-performance shopping journey. The scope involved modernizing the navigation, the homepage, and the product detail pages to meet global consumer expectations.
