Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKenneth Lim is a Senior Lecturer and creative technologist based in London with 11 years of experience designing interactive experiences that blend graphic design, typography and code. Trained at Central Saint Martins and the RCA, he moves fluidly between experimental front-end work and backend/devops contributions—most notably improving p5.js DOM/event handling and adding resilient job handling and S3 support to the nexrender render automation stack. As CTO of 2050cards and a long-time contributor and mentor within the Processing Foundation, he pairs studio-grade aesthetics with production engineering rigor. His work often surfaces surprising, playful interactions—what he dubs “utterly useless stuff”—that highlight pedagogical clarity and technical craftsmanship.
