I am an award-winning illustrator + designer + creative partner with years of ad agency, in-house, freelance and company-owned experience. I work with both large and small brands—everything from B2B and retail to start-up companies. With a design, illustration, and production background, I am able to provide creative solutions that stay on brand and budget. 

Design and illustration are not only my profession, they are my passion.

A few kind words from my past...

–1–

"Kim has by far, been the biggest influence to my design career. She has spent her life leading by example and has helped mentor me in my own journey. As far as her ability to create, anyone who knows how intimidating a blank sheet of paper can admire Kim's God given gift to illustrate imagery in a way that speaks to us all. She is truly one in a million."  | T​

"Kim is one of those people that actually does make your job easier. She’s there to help you. She’s one of those rare employees that is really easy to manage, to work with, to grow with and she works harder than anyone I know through it all. She is an Iron Woman and she brings the same drive, dedication and hard work to her job everyday. She truly loves being productive. She is amazing!"  | M

"Kim is a pleasure to work with. She is skilled at collaborating, delegating or working independently. Kim knows all the tools of the trade in the Adode Creative Suite for both print and web. She is constantly creating, whether it is her whimsical illustration, or thoughtful design and production. Kim is a valuable asset to have on any project."  | D"

"​I had the pleasure of employing Kim for 1+ years at Flourish. She was the best and easiest part of my job. She had started out as a freelance helper for a few months prior to employment. She proved how amazing she was and I knew I needed her on my team. She proved everyday how talented, skilled, efficient and fast she was. We worked very well together because she has that “figure it out” way about her and could apply her common sense from the design industry to make the right calls. She is smart and she’s great at learning new things and applying learnings forward—especially with client specific info. Kim is very responsible and takes deadlines very seriously. She can work at a fast pace daily. She often just gets things done to keep us on track when she doesn’t need to—she just truly wants to."  | M

Kim was delightful to have as my manager. As the head of the department, she demonstrated great leadership skills and a strong work ethic. Kim has it all—management, design, illustration and production skills—she's an excellent resource."  | M

"I admire Kim’s work style because she is an amazing combination of talents that you rarely find in creative types. She’s a wonderfully talented designer that can pick up a brand style quickly and execute it in many different ways. She has that design eye and sense of what is right. She’s creative with her solutions and has just the right touch. Kim is also an illustrator and worked with me on a few projects that just scraped the surface of her talents. I wish I had a gotten the opportunity to let her shine with her illustrations. They are wonderful and she can cover a range of styles. Kim is also a machine when it comes to production work and will shine up any file she touches. She’ll also look for ways to improve processes all along the way. That is rare—a creative who creates beautifully, does things right, works smart and improves processes.​" | M
