KIA NEW ERA

KIA New Era was an exploratory design project focused on translating KIA’s 2021 brand identity into a cohesive digital ecosystem. The work investigated how the new design language could extend beyond traditional automotive styling to shape holistic digital experiences across mobile apps, websites, and in-car HMI. This project reflected a broader shift in the automotive industry — where brand identity is defined not only by transportation design, but also by the digital interactions that connect drivers, vehicles, and services into one unified experience.
