Artist Kyunghee(Donna) Kim

 Kyunghee (Donna) Kim is a multidisciplinary artist and creative technologist based in New Jersey and New York. Working across textile craft, physical computing, and interactive media, she explores the intersection of Korean cultural heritage and emerging technologies. Her practice focuses on reimagining traditional Korean Gyubang craft through material experimentation, hand-stitching, and electronic integration. By combining silk, thread, Arduino, and e-textile techniques, Kim creates interactive works that connect inherited craft traditions with contemporary technological possibilities. Through exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs, she continues to explore new ways of preserving and reinterpreting cultural heritage through creative technology.  Her works have been exhibited in venues including Small Expressions 2026, Lagniappe--The Art of Everyday Beauty, Functional Art Exhibit, Coney Island Maker Faire, Fiber-a-Thon, and other events.
