Design a Gratitude Journal for Thanksgiving

I’m a creative wife and mum who has the crazy notion that we can design your dream lives. Lives that can be built on our passions, God given gifts, skills and life story.

I went from a stressed, depressed fashion designer who just had her 2nd baby to getting into self care, personal growth and goals to a creative online business owner creating an intentional life based on my highest values and priorities.

I guide other women in doing the same meanwhile sharing my love of design, colour and pattern in my home, style, content and courses.

P.S Did I mention I just love planners? I love making my own which I sell and teaching others to make their own too!

Illustrate Your Own Holiday SVGs Even if You Can't Draw

I’m Kimberly—a designer, illustrator, budding teacher, and a chaotic creative. For the past 18 years, I’ve harnessed this energy to design a career that allows me to do all the things I enjoy—illustration, lettering, and pattern design among many more things.

I’m from a little town in Costa Rica called Escazú and I made my way to NYC to be an animator. While working for studios like Nick Jr., PBS Kids, Cartoon Network, & Disney on Broadway, I also taught myself all sorts of things like graphic, branding, web design, illustration, lettering, pattern design… I could go on because I just love to learn and create. My interests never wane and I’ve never found a reason to not indulge a new one.

I firmly believe we’re all creative creatures at heart & we should celebrate all of that creativity and see where it can lead us!

When I’m not busy drawing or designing, you’ll likely find me hanging out with my college sweetheart, Patrick, or putting some Harry Potter Legos together with my boys, likely with ice cream in hand!
