✹ Hello, I’m Arah Kim 👋🏻

Mexicorean, a Creative by profession and a Low-Performance Athlete for fun.
I grew up in northern Mexico 🤠, where we speak directly and loudly.

My first encounter with creativity came through my family’s business designing and making clothing and uniforms, where my love for fashion and design began . It’s also what led me to start my own clothing brand Baron®.

I always wondered who made those iconic Nike ads, so I moved to Mexico City to follow my dream of working in advertising. I started my career as a copywriter and over the years, became a Creative Director, currently at Wieden+Kennedy.

During my years as an agency creative, I noticed how few women held leadership positions. So I decided to work really hard to become a leading creative voice in my country and why not, around the world.
And after many years in the industry, a few things happened 🔥🔽

In 2023, I was selected for Cannes Lions See It Be It, a global talent accelerator that helps women and non-binary people reach creative leadership positions.

In 2024, I won Next Creative Leaders, the global portfolio competition, becoming one of the first Mexican women to receive this prestigious recognition.

And well, here we are, trying to make better work every day.

On this site, you’ll find a selection of my work that reflects my perspective, craft, and purpose as a creative.

Enjoy!
