Editorial / Publishing
Charles Kim is Principal of Charlotte & Company, a consultancy helping nonprofit institutions devise and execute effective publishing strategies. Charles believes that every organization has the potential to use the content it already creates to further its mission and promote its brand, generate revenue, and increase engagement among leadership and staff. He has previously served as Associate Publisher at The Museum of Modern Art in New York (2012–17), where he established a highly successful line of children’s books on iconic artists such as Henri Matisse, Edgar Degas, and René Magritte but also women artists and artists of color such as Yayoi Kusama, Sonia Delaunay, and Jacob Lawrence.
He also began a line of limited-edition facsimile editions of landmark publications by Paul Klee, Yoko Ono, Robert Rauschenberg, and Marcel Broodthaers. Before MoMA, he served as Editor in Chief and Director of Publications at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum (2003–12), where he established the museum’s own independent publishing imprint; the National Design Journal, a semiannual magazine for museum members; and DesignFile, one of the first e-book series published by a museum in the United States.
