Grace Kim is the founder and CEO of Grace Eventive, an event planning and logistics company specializing in cultural and corporate events. Born in the United States to Korean parents, Grace spent much of her childhood in Japan, as well as in Korea and the United States, giving her a unique cross-cultural perspective that informs her work today.

From 2015 to 2016, Grace served as a Coordinator for International Relations (CIR) in Okayama Prefecture through the JET Program. Upon returning from Japan, Grace worked at the U.S.-Japan Council for six years, administering cultural exchange programs and scholarships. Now based in Northern Virginia, she brings her extensive program planning experience and bilingual fluency in Japanese and English to serve clients primarily in the Greater Washington region. Grace speaks Japanese (JLPT N1) and Korean (equivalent to TOPIK II Level 5).

Grace is passionate about helping clients create meaningful events that bridge cultures and bring people together. Outside of her professional work, she enjoys long walks, visiting farmers markets, cooking, baking, gardening (as a proud novice gardener), and experimenting with traditional fermented foods such as natto and nukazuke.
